The product list

The product list is the master list of everything you sell. It's built for large catalogs: the search, the filters, the sort order and the page you're on are all part of the page address, so any slice of the catalog can be bookmarked or sent to a colleague, who sees exactly the same products.

To open it, go to Catalog > Catalog > Products. The search and filter bar sits on top of the table; it scrolls away as you go down and comes back when you scroll up. The table header always stays visible.

Search and filter products

Steps

  1. In Nucleo, go to Catalog > Catalog > Products.
  2. Click in the Search and filter bar and type. The list updates as you type, matching titles, SKUs and codes.
  3. To add a filter, click in the empty bar, or type nothing and pick a field from the menu. Use Search filters at the top of the menu to find a field quickly.
  4. Tick the values you want. Where it applies, switch between Is and Is not.
  5. For Price and Stock, enter a Min, a Max or both.

Each active filter shows in the bar as a token, such as Status is Active. Click a token to change it, or click its × to remove it. With the search box empty, pressing Backspace removes the last filter. The × at the right end of the bar clears the search and every filter.

Filter groupFields
MainStatus, Brand, Category, Attribute set, Market, Price and Stock.
Data qualityTranslation: products that have a language, or with Is not, products missing it.
AttributesEvery option attribute of your catalog, such as color, material or season.
Tip
The numbers next to each value count the products that have it, given the other filters you've already applied. They update after every click, so you see how many products you're about to get.

Find a list of SKUs

To find exactly the products on a list you already have, such as a column copied from a spreadsheet, paste the whole list into the search.

Steps

  1. Copy the SKUs, one per line or separated by commas, semicolons or tabs.
  2. In the product list, click in the Search and filter bar and paste.

Nucleo turns the list into a comma-separated search and shows only the products whose SKU matches one of the codes exactly.

Save and manage views

A view stores a combination of search text, filters and sort order that you use often. The view switcher is on the left of the bar: All shows the whole catalog, and Catalog creates a starter view for each product status the first time you open the list.

Steps

  1. Set up the search, the filters and the sort order you want to keep.
  2. Click Save view, enter a View name, and confirm.
  3. To manage your views, open the view switcher and do one of the following:
    1. Click a view to apply it.
    2. Click the pencil icon to rename it, then confirm the new name.
    3. Click the copy icon to duplicate it.
    4. Click the trash icon to delete it.
  4. When you change the filters of an open view, click Save to update it, or Save as new view to keep both.
Note
Views are stored in your browser, for your account and this catalog. They're personal, and they don't follow you to another computer or browser.

Sort the list and choose columns

Open the sort and columns control on the right of the bar. Under Sort by, pick an order; under Columns, show, hide and drag columns into the order you want. You can also sort by clicking the header of the Product, SKU, Price and Stock columns.

Sort optionOrder
Newest first / Oldest firstBy creation date. Newest first is the default.
Name A–Z / Name Z–ABy product title.
SKU A–Z / SKU Z–ABy SKU.
Most variants / Fewest variantsBy number of variants.
Highest price / Lowest priceBy price.
Highest stock / Lowest stockBy stock on hand.
Most returned / Least returnedBy returns. Products that have never sold stay at the bottom in both directions. Sorting by returns shows the Returns column automatically.

SKU, Product type, Gender, Price, Channels, Stock and Status are shown by default. You can also switch on Model code, Variant code, Brand, Attribute set, Macro color, Micro color, Variants and Returns. The Completeness column is always shown. Your columns are remembered in your browser.

At the bottom of the table, choose how many products to show per page: 20, 40 (the default), 80 or 120.

Read completeness

The Completeness column scores each product from 0 to 100 on how ready it is to sell. The bar is green from 80, amber from 50 and red below 50. The score combines four checks, each with its own weight:

CheckWeightWhat it looks for
Attributes40%Every required attribute of the product's attribute set has a value. See Attributes.
SEO25%Meta title, meta description and handle are present and within length, and the product is translated into your languages.
Info20%The product has a title, a description and a publication status.
Media15%The product has at least one image.
Tip
To close the gaps, start from Home, where Atomo lists what's missing, and from Enrichment, where missing attribute values are proposed for you to approve. You can also ask Atomo which products are below a given score.

Edit products in the grid

Bulk actions give many products the same value. When each product needs a different value, edit them in the grid instead of opening each one.

Steps

  1. In the product list, click More actions > Edit in grid. The Status, Product type and Brand cells turn into drop-down fields, and an Editing in grid button appears in the page header.
  2. Change the cells you need. Each change is saved as soon as you make it.
  3. When you're done, click Editing in grid to switch the grid back to normal.
Note
If a change can't be saved, the cell goes back to its previous value and a message tells you why, so you never end up with a value on screen that isn't in the catalog.

Change many products at once

Select products with the checkboxes, or use the checkbox in the header to select every product on the page. The table header turns into a bar of bulk actions.

ActionWhat it does
Set as active, Set as draft, Set as archivedSets the publication status of the selected products. Archiving asks you to confirm.
Product type / BrandSet product type or Set brand gives the selected products a value; Clear product type or Clear brand empties it.
Category > Add to categoryAdds the selected products to a category. Their other categories are kept.
ChannelAssign to channel or Remove from channel. Removing asks you to confirm. See Sales channels and publishing.
DeletePermanently deletes the selected products, with all their variants, prices, images, translations and attributes, after a confirmation.

A message tells you how many products changed. After a change of status to draft or archived made on products selected on the page, the message has an Undo button that puts every product back to its previous status.

Select every product that matches the filters

The checkbox in the header selects the products on the page. To act on everything the search and filters find, across all pages, select all the matching products.

Steps

  1. In Nucleo, go to Catalog > Catalog > Products, and search or filter the list.
  2. Click the checkbox in the table header. A line above the table says that all the products on this page are selected.
  3. In that line, click Select all with the number of matching products.
  4. Pick a bulk action. Nucleo asks you to confirm how many products will change, for example Change all 1,240 matching products?.
ActionMost products at once
Status, Category and Channel5,000
Product type, Brand and Delete2,000. Above that, the buttons are off: narrow the filters, or select the products on the page.

Click Clear selection to start again. If the catalog changed in the meantime, Nucleo stops, clears the selection and reloads the list, so you never change products you didn't see.

Caution
Deleting products can't be undone. Deleting requires the Product deletion permission; see Control feature access.

Export what you're looking at

Under More actions > Export you can take the current slice of the catalog out of Nucleo:

  • Products (CSV) downloads every product that matches the current search and filters, not just the visible page, in the same layout as the full product export. See Exporting data.
  • Images builds an image package from a sales channel for the selected products. Select the products on the page first, then pick the channel. It isn't available when you selected every matching product. See Image packages.

Considerations for the product list

  • Click any row to open the product editor. The arrows in the editor's header then move through this same list, with its filters and its order.
  • Keyboard shortcuts: / moves to the search, c adds a product, j and k move down and up the rows. Press ? to see them.
  • Viewers see the list without Edit in grid and without bulk actions. Add product appears only when you're allowed to create products.
  • Choosing a language in View as shows product titles in that language where a translation exists. See Viewing as a channel or a language.
