All Products Tab

Products imported or created in Plytix can be found in the 'All Products' tab under the 'Products' section.

Product Overview Options

Across the top of the product overview table you'll find, from left to right:

• Product count (with a '+' to add a new product). Hovering over the count shows a breakdown of Singles, Parents, Variants, and Sub-variants.
• Family selector ('All products' dropdown)
• Levels selector ('All levels' dropdown)
• Edit columns
• Sort
• Filter
• Search

Each of these is covered in more detail below.

Adding a New Product

Click the '+' next to the product count to open the add product modal. You'll see two tabs:

• Create manually: fill in SKU (required), Label, and optionally assign a Family. A note reminds you that families group similar products and automatically inherit values from parent to variant products.
• Import CSV: import products in bulk from a CSV file.

When finished, click 'Add' (or 'Add and create another' to keep adding products back to back).

Product Family Selector

Click the 'All products' dropdown to filter the table by family. Options include 'All products', 'Unassigned' (products not part of any family), and each of your existing families (e.g. Accessories, Apparel, Office Supplies).

 

Levels Selector

Click the 'All levels' dropdown to choose which product levels are shown:

• All levels: shows all products
• Parents: shows only parent and single products
• Variants: shows only variants, sub-variants, and single products

Edit Columns

Click 'Edit columns' to open the column manager.

On the left, you'll see all of your attributes sorted by attribute group, with a search bar to find a specific column by name and a count showing how many columns are in each group.

On the right, you'll see the columns currently selected for your table view. You can search within your selected columns, remove them individually or all at once, and drag to reorder them.

Changing the order of your columns here will change how they're displayed in the product table.

Click 'Apply' to save your changes.

Sorting

Click the sort icon to choose how the table is ordered. Select a column to sort by (e.g. SKU, Label, Status, Last modified, Created) and use the up/down arrows to set ascending or descending order, then click 'Apply'. The active sort column and direction are shown as an arrow next to that column's header in the table.

Column Options

Click the three dots that appear when hovering over a column header to access:

• Freeze up to this column

• Hide column

• Filter attribute

Filter Options

Filters make finding and viewing your products quick and easy. From this section you can find specific families, filter through your products, save filters to a smart list, or load a pre-existing product list. 

Click the filter icon to open the filters panel. Click '+ New filter' and choose what to start from: Attributes, Media, Family or product type, Created or modified, Categories, or Relationships. Set your criteria and apply, unsaved filter changes are flagged at the top of the page until you save them as part of a view.

Searching

The top righthand corner of the table features a search bar where you can search for specific products. By default you can search by SKU or Label. You can search by other attributes if you choose to add them by clicking on the three dots that appears when you hover over the search bar.

Product Table

The product table is where you can view all of your products and their attributes in columns.

SKU is always shown in the first column, but all other columns can be rearranged to fit the order and size that works best for you.

When you have a family selected, column colours indicate the kind of attribute in the parent-variant relationship:

• Attributes with inheritance on: shown in light purple, meaning the value is inherited from the parent to the variant.

• Attribute out of the family: Even when you have a family selected on the Product Overview page, you can still view every attribute you've chosen to display via 'Edit columns', including attributes that don't belong to the family you've selected. Any attribute that falls outside the selected family will be displayed with a grey colour, so you can quickly tell it apart from attributes that are actually part of the family.

Parent and Variant Structure

Click the arrow next to a parent's variant count to expand and see its linked variants. Variants with sub-variants can be expanded the same way, letting you drill down through parent → variant → sub-variant directly in the table.

Selecting Products

Selecting a product or multiple products opens a bulk action toolbar at the bottom of the page with the following options, left to right:

• Unselect (x icon): clears your current selection.
• Duplicate: only appears when a single product is selected. Lets you quickly create a new product by duplicating the information of an existing one.
• Edit (pencil icon): bulk edit attributes, relationships, categories, and media for multiple products.
• AI Edit (sparkle icon): generate and transform text for thousands of products at once using generative AI.
• Assign to Family: assign your selected products to a Product Family.
• Add to List: add your selection of products to a static list.
• Delete (trash icon): delete your selection of products from Plytix. To confirm, you'll need to type "DELETE".
• Export (download icon): export your selection as a CSV, XLSX, or PDF file, or export only the associated assets.
