Breadcrumbs are a navigation aid that provides users with a hierarchical path to the representation of the product. The term "breadcrumbs" is inspired by the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," where breadcrumbs were used to create a trail to find the way back home.

 

Each breadcrumb represents a link to a higher-level category or sub-category. They show the products location in the PIM product's data hierarchy and allow users to easily navigate to higher level categories.

 

The "Define New Variants" feature allows users to create new product variants based on predefined attributes and their values. Product variants are different versions or variations of a base product, and they are typically used to represent products with distinct characteristics, such as different sizes, colors, or configurations.

The "Cancel" button is a feature commonly found in user interfaces, including Product Information Management Systems (PIM). When clicked, the "Cancel" button cancels or aborts the current operation or action that the user is performing. It allows users to exit a form, discard changes, or abandon a process without saving any modifications.

 

Click the delete icon to delete selected products. The "Delete" button is a user interface element commonly found in applications that allow users to remove or delete data items from the system. In this case the "Delete" button is used to remove a specific product from the database.

 

Users must exercise caution when using the "Delete" button as it permanently removes data from the system, and often there is no way to recover deleted products depending on your PIM configuration and options.

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique identifier assigned to each product. It is a critical attribute used for inventory management, tracking, and distinguishing products from one another. The SKU acts as a primary key, ensuring that each product in the system has a unique and non-repeating identifier.

 

The SKU attribute is mandatory for every product in the system. When adding a new product or updating an existing one, users must provide a valid SKU value. This ensures that all products in the database have a SKU assigned to them, and no product can exist without this unique identifier.

 

In addition to being a crucial attribute for inventory management, the uniqueness of SKUs prevents data duplication and ensures that products are accurately represented and tracked throughout the system. This is essential for running a successful e-commerce platform, retail operation, or any business that deals with multiple products and requires accurate inventory control.

"Attribute Group" is a feature that allows related attributes to be organized and displayed together. Attribute groups are used to group attributes that share a common theme or pertain to a specific aspect of a product.

 

When configuring products in the PIM, Data Managers can create attribute groups to organize related attributes. For example, a group named "Technical Specifications" may contain attributes like "Weight," "Dimensions," and "Material." Another group called "Features" may include attributes like "Color," "Warranty," and "Power Source." When a user views a product in the PIM, the attributes belonging to the same group are displayed together under a common heading or section. This arrangement provides a clear and organized view of product details, making it easier for users to understand and manage the information.

 

Attribute groups are designed to be flexible and can be customized, allowing them to be leveraged by external connected systems like eCommerce platforms. This means that when data is served using the API, the attributes and their groupings are also provided, ensuring consistency and coherence in how the data is presented to customers on other platforms.

The "Collection Control" is a user interface component that allows for the display and management of multiple data items in a collection format.  The "Collection Control" presents a list or grid-like view that displays multiple data items from the collection. Each data item is represented as an entry.

 

Adding Data Items: Users can add new data items to the collection by interacting with an "Add" button.  When clicked, this button opens a dialog or form where users can input the details of the new data item.

 

The "Collection Control" is a structured and organized view of individual data items, enabling users to interact with and manage multiple data items efficiently.
