Discover the Product Management interface

This article guides you through all the options breaking them down into 7 chunks. Find them listed below.

The Product Management tool enables you to access and update a set of products. When correctly matched, these products and their associated information appear in various in-tool locations, providing valuable insights across different types of dashboards. Think of the Product Management screen as the single source of truth for your product data.

1. Inline search bar

The linked results will be displayed when you enter one or more keywords in the search bar. The result page considers all fields entered in the inline search bar. If a product (partially) matches the name or any of the GTIN(s) or other Code(s), it will appear in the results.

2. Manage your assortment, tags and attributes

Tags, attributes, and (retailer) assortments must be managed since products and their relations change over time. 

3. Add products via the plus (+) icon

When you click on the plus (+) icon located on the right side of the interface, it opens a pop-up that allows you to add product(s). You have two options:

• Add a new product (one by one): This lets you add products directly via the interface, one at a time. It’s useful when you want to add a few products and receive immediate feedback after filling in all the required fields. Some of these fields, as shown below (see screenshot), are mandatory. These include the Brand and Name. Other fields are optional, but it’s mandatory to at least enter one GTIN, MPN, or Other code. After filling in the details, you can either click ‘ADD ANOTHER’ or ‘ADD & CLOSE.’ The latter action will return you to the Product Management interface.

• Upload product(s) from an Excel file: This option allows you to upload, merge, or replace a new file with the existing products in your account. This method of adding products is usually more common and allowes you to replace the current set (Replace with existing products) or allows you to merge with current set (Merge with existing products). This allows you to bulk-updating certain values for existing products. 

Note: when merging, the ‘Retailer Y/N’ field will also be overwritten, not just added. Tags and attributes will stay the same. 

4. Browse through the 3 tabs of product associations

The three tabs help you easily switch between retailer assortments, tags and attributes. This functionality allows you to add or delete values for your products quickly. 

5. Delete a selection or all products

If you wish to delete (a selection of) your product(s), you can do so directly within the interface. If your happy with the selection of products, then click on the box seen in left corner (highlighted below). Pressing this button will select all products visible on the page (in the case below, a total of 50 will be selected). The number of the selected product(s) will always be shown between brackets.  

If you press the ‘bin’ button again, you can delete all products. In the screenshot below, this action will lead into deleting 1649 products.  

6. Inline editing

Did you make a mistake? No worries—we’re all human. 

If you want to add new information or improve existing content, you can inline edit by clicking on the field. You can edit GTIN codes, Brand names, product names, and applicable retailers easily this way.

TIP: pipe-separate in case you want to add more values

After entering your input, click APPLY. If any issues are found, we’ll provide direct feedback. You can read about common issues in the Issues Resolver. If there are no direct issues, you’ll return to the Product Management screen, where you’ll need to decide whether to save your progress again. 

7. Download segmented products as Excel file

Users managing large or diverse accounts (many retailers, countries, tags and attributes) likely need to update product assortments, tags, attributes based on current Product Management information. Typically these accounts are maintained by several users responsible for parts of the account (e.g. specific countries or retailers).  We allow you to filter and select specific data before downloading, to make the process to update your product assortment faster and more efficient. 

• Navigate to the Product Management interface;
• Click the download button in the right corner;

• You can now filter what data you want to export. In below example, we choose to filter on country. Confirm your filters by clicking the ‘Export data’ button.
