Tabs within the Smart Grid
Scope
This dropdown displays your available websites and underlying store views. By selecting a store view, the grid will automatically adjust to that corresponding view. If no other websites or views are available, only "Global" will be visible.
Grid
This dropdown showcases the available grids. If no other grids exist, you'll only see the "Default" grid. You can create multiple grids by applying filters and saving them. Once saved, a filter becomes a grid. These grids are user-specific, meaning if user "Daniël" creates two grids—one for "Sales" and one for "Marketing"—he will only see these grids. If "Henk" logs in, he will only see the "Default" grid until he creates his own grids.
Filter
When selected, a slider will appear, allowing you to create your own rules in the Rulebuilder based on catalog attributes. This means you can use custom attributes for filtering. For more information on filters, visit this link: Rulebuilder and Filters.
Manage Columns
Columns can be organized and used to filter specific aspects of your products. The default columns are: SKU, Name, Image, Product ID, Last Synced, Stores, Price, Status, and Created At.
By clicking the arrow next to any column, you can sort it alphabetically or by price (from high to low) or by date.
When you click on the "Manage Columns" button, you'll be able to select which catalog attributes you want displayed in your grid, adjust the order, or remove any columns you don’t need.
Add New Products
Clicking "New Products" takes you to the product view where you can input the necessary details to create a new product. For more information on the product view, check this guide: Product View.
In-Line Edits
One of the major features of the Smart Grid is in-line editing, which allows you to update product information without opening the product details. This can save valuable time, as you don’t need to load the product page every time you want to make a minor edit. For example, if you see the "Price" attribute in the grid, simply click the entity and type in a new price.
In-line actions can be controlled via mouse, keyboard, or even fully by keyboard, using the arrow keys to navigate between columns.
Bulk Actions
This feature is on the roadmap. It will allow users to select all products in a filtered view and perform bulk updates, such as changing the color from green to yellow on 20 products. Additionally, grids will be exportable to CSV, Google Sheets, and XLS formats.
