1. Go to the 'All products' page
2. In the Filters menu on the left, click the '+' next to 'Attributes' or 'Relationships'
3. Set the criteria for filtering.
4. Click 'Apply filter'.

Product Table

The product table is where you can view all of your products, and their attributes in columns. Toggle the filter view on or off by clicking on 'Hide filters' or 'Show filters' at the top of the table. Adjust the number of products you see by clicking on the 'Results per page' dropdown in the bottom righthand corner.

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

 

You can always add a new product by clicking on the '+ New Product' at the top of the table.

Clicking the ' + New Product' button will open a modal to create your new product. You are required to fill in the SKU and the label, and you have the option to choose a product family to assign the product to.

When you are finished, click on 'Create Product' to be taken to the new product's detail page, where you can enrich your product information.

View Options

 

List view

Grid view

 

List view

With the list view, you can see up to 100 products per page. 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, you may have different column colors based on what kind of attribute it is in the parent-variant relationship:  

• Attributes with inheritance on: When an attribute is being inherited from the parent to the variant, it till be shown as a light purple color in the table view.

• Attribute out of the family: Even when you have selected a family in the Product Overview page, you can view all the attributes you have chosen to display when editing your columns - including attributes that don't belong to the family you selected. Any attribute that is out of the family will be displayed with a gray color.

In table view, you can also change the sort order of attributes with numerical or alphabetical values by clicking on the arrow that appears next to the column header.

Selecting one or more attributes in this view will cause the bulk action menu to appear at the top of the page. Here you have options to edit, export, add to list, link assets, assign a family or delete products. 

Grid view

The grid view is a great way to get a closer look at your products without visiting each product's detail page separately.

With grid view, you can change the size of each product listing by selecting 'S' for small, 'M' for medium (default), and 'L' for large, so you can adjust how many products you see per row.  

In addition to the thumbnail of each product, you'll see the SKU and the first four selected attributes for each product, which you can adjust by clicking on 'Edit columns' at the top. If the product has variants, you'll see a number next to a tag symbol in the top left corner above it's thumbnail.

Hovering over each product will show another menu, giving you options to open the product detail page in a new tab, duplicate the product, or delete it.

 

Just as in the list view, you can select one or more products; this will cause the bulk action menu to appear.
