In Beta: New Product Catalog & Product Details Page

What's New in the Product Catalog

The Product Catalog is where you’ll browse and manage your store’s product list. In this New Back Office, you’ll notice:

• Faster Performance: Significantly faster load time than the Legacy Back Office. 

• More Filter Criteria Options: Use the search field or click into a specific column to filter by new criteria such as Case Cost, EBT Enabled, and Retail Price, as well as existing ones.
  

• Filter by Value: You can filter on any cell, and it should add that to the filter bar.
  
  

• Sort Columns: Sort columns by ascending or descending order.
  

• Group Columns: Group products in your catalog to make browsing and managing your list easier. 
  
• Move Columns: Drag and drop to move columns.
  
• Pin Columns: Select a column, then choose a pin direction (left or right) to pin it. To unpin a column, select the Unpin option.
  
  
• Hide & Unhide Columns: Hide or unhide columns as needed. Unhidden columns will appear at the end of the table.
  
  
• Bulk Edits: After selecting all the products you’d like to update, either by checking the box to the left of each product name or the box at the top left of the product table, a Bulk Update bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, showing how many products will be updated.
  • You’ll now see popular update options, such as Change Department, listed right away. Select More to view the full list of updateable traits in alphabetical order.
    
    

• • Once the update is submitted, a success notification will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.
    
  • You can also review when the bulk updates have been completed by visiting the Notifications panel on the left-hand menu.
    
    
    
  • Larger bulk edits (over 1,000 products) may take a few minutes to process. The success notification will arrive once the update has been fully completed for all selected items.

• Save Views: Save, name, and delete views that are shared across all store logins, making it easy to access your most-used filters (e.g., “New Products”).
  
  

• Export Products: You can now export your product list to a CSV file. The export function is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), so the exported file will contain precisely what is displayed on your screen.

  • Filtered Export: Apply any combination of filters to your catalog. When you click export, the file will contain only the products that match your filtered view.

  • Selected Export: You can also manually check the box next to specific products. If you export with items selected, the file will contain only those selected products, regardless of any active filters.

• Quickly Add Products with One Click: Use the Quick Create New Product button in the top-right corner to add new products to your catalog instantly. 
  
  
• Create More to Add Products Quickly: If you're adding multiple new products (e.g., like a series of Chobani yogurt items), you can speed things up by using the Create More button.
  • After entering the details for your first product, toggle on the Create More button to save the entry and immediately open a product form for the next one. This lets you quickly input similar items (same brand and department) in a row and add barcodes as needed, helping you build out your catalog more efficiently.
    
    

What’s New in the Product Detail Page 

• New Full-Page Product Detail View:
  • When creating a product using Quick Create, you can select the Full Details button in the bottom-left corner to open the complete Product Detail page.
    • Previously, switching to Full Details would clear any information you had already entered, but now, all data is preserved. That means you can start with the Quick Create flow, and if you need to add more advanced product details (like pack size, attributes, vendor info, or inventory), you can switch to Full Details at any time without losing your work.
      
      

• • Or select the Open icon next to any product name in the catalog to view its new full-page Product Detail Page, replacing the old right-side panel. From there, you can make detailed updates.  
    
    

The new page makes it easier to:

• Live Edit: All changes are saved automatically.
  

• Add a Product Description: A new Product Description field is now available on the Product Detail Page. This field is designed to print directly on 3 x 1.5 inch shelf tags (and will not appear on other tag sizes), making it perfect for adding more detailed information or alternate language characters. 

  • More details to come, regarding product descriptions and printing on 3 x 1.5 tags!

• Add Attributes: Select relevant attributes from the list of unused options to add them to a product.
  
  
  Or select a Department, which will automatically apply its preset attributes.
  
  
  
  

• Include Notes: Add internal notes to help your team track important product-specific information.

  •  

    The Description field is customer-facing, while the Notes section is for internal team information only and does not print on tags.
    
    

• View & Update the Vendor Product: View and edit the vendor, barcode, description, and other related details directly in the Vendor Products section.
  
  

• Update Inventory: Quickly adjust on-hand quantity, max stock, and other inventory-related details directly in the Inventory section.
