      ** Notes on Specific Attribute Filters

      Date Attributes - Relative Date

      When filtering using date attributes (Created, Last Modified or a custom date attribute), you may filter dates dynamically using relative dates. This means that instead of constantly updating filters, you can find products based on whether they were modified today, yesterday, a week ago, or up to one year ago.

      To use relative date filters:

      1. In the 'Filters' area of the Product Overview, click on the 'Add filter' icon next to "Attributes."
      2. Select a date attribute from the 'Select Attribute' dropdown.
      3. From the second dropdown, select 'Relative Date.'
      4. Change the number of days according to the results for which you want to filter.
      5. Click 'Apply filter.'

      Using Product Filters (2)

      💡 To filter for only products modified today, type "0" in the days input field. To filter for products modified today and yesterday, type "1".  To filter for products modified in the last week (including today), type "7". Results can be filtered up to 365 days from today.

      ℹ️ Note that the relative date selector is based on UTC time. Results include all products modified on a certain date, so they are not relative to a specific hour of the day. For example, selecting "Last 1 days" will return all products modified yesterday and today-- not products only modified in the last 24 hours.

       

      Relationship Filters

      To use relationship filters: 

      1. Click on the '+' icon next to Relationships.Using Product Filters
      2. From the dropdown, select the relationship for which you would like to filter. 
      3. Choose 'is defined' or 'is not defined'.
      4. Click 'Apply filter' to search for all SKUs that fit the filter or click 'All SKUs Selected' to select specific SKUs.4-1
      5. If you selected specific SKUs, define the quantity of related products for which you want to filter. 4
      6. Click 'Apply filter'. 

      The Product Overview table will now show the results of your chosen filters.

      ℹ️  At this time, you cannot filter on more than one relationship.
