New Version of the Product Page

This page presents the new version of the product page, available following the visual rework of our platform.

You can still access the old version of the product page by clicking on "Switch to the old document page" located at the top right of the screen. This will allow you to continue using the suggestion mode which is not carried over to the new version of the product page.

Old page

Product pages are amazing. Their versatility allows them to be used in many different ways. Not only do they display all the information describing your products, but they do much more! Product pages are based on document objects and are sometimes referred to as document pages or simply documents.

👍

Vocabulary

Product pages, based on document objects, can sometimes be called document pages or simply documents.

Accessing Product Pages

There are several ways to access your Quable PIM product pages, the most common are:


Product Page Structure

Product pages contain everything necessary for presenting an item: editorial content, asset, variants, links to other documents, etc.

Although there is no "standard" product page structure, each includes the following segments:

Product page
SegmentDescription
Title and main attributes

Provides an overview of the product page:

  • the name of the document
  • the document's attribute set, if applicable. (You can modify the attribute set by selecting it from the dropdown list).
  • main attributes

Assets overview

Provides an overview of the assets linked to the product page:

  • a preview of the associated assets (if defined by the Quable PIM administrator)
  • Content tabs

    Product pages generally include the following tabs:

    • General - To enter and modify the textual information of the product page.
    • Asset - To manage the associated asset.
    • Related Documents - (optional tab) To manage "child" and "parent" documents.
    • Variants - (optional tab) To manage the associated variants.
    • Tasks - To manage the tasks associated with the current document.

    Translation tools
    • Translation mode* - To translate the attributes of the product page.
    Clicking the icon opens a pop-up that allows you to localize your attributes in all the available data languages on your PIM instance. You can then:

    • Manually enter translations in the text fields
    • Click the magic wand to generate an automatic translation in the text fields

    Quable AI Text Generation ToolsClick on the icon to automatically generate content using the Quable AI text generation feature. Note that:
    • Content generation works only on text-type attributes.
    • This feature must be configured in advance by the administrator of your Quable PIM instance.
    BreadcrumbAllows you to visualize and navigate through your classification hierarchy using the breadcrumb links located at the top of each product page.
    Action buttons

    Allow you to perform specific actions on a product page:

    • Move - To move a document to another classification.
    • Translate attributes - To access the Product Sheet's productive translation window
    • Archive - To archive a document.
    • Delete - To delete a document.
    • Duplicate - (default data language only) To make a copy of a document.
    • Print - To "print" a PDF of the document.

    Activity historyAllows you to view previous actions performed on a product page. Displays the date, author, and language.
    CompletenessIndicator of the completeness level of product pages, according to the sets defined by the Quable PIM administrator. By clicking on a completeness indicator, the color-coded point corresponding to completeness is highlighted next to the required attributes, and attributes not concerned by completeness are hidden.
    TagsLocated in the upper right corner, tags indicate the stages or states of product pages, highlighting relevant information and making it easy to see the actions to be taken. Tags are defined by the Quable PIM administrator.
    WorkflowIndicator of the status of a product page or a workflow stage (e.g., publication status, completeness rate, etc.). There are two types of status:
    • Conditional status - Displayed as a colored dot with the status name, these are automatically calculated according to one or more rules defined by your Quable PIM administrator.
    • Workflow stages - Displayed as a dropdown list to manually change the status of a document according to a workflow stage.

    Product Page Header

    The upper part of the product page gathers the main information, accessible at a glance.

    📘

    Collapsible Header Behavior

    When you scroll down the page, the header shrinks and only the large thumbnail, the name, and the product page code remain visible.


    Asset Preview

    Asset preview

    At the top left of the product page header, you will find:

    • A large thumbnail representing the first image associated with the product page, with the total number of asset displayed at the bottom right.
    • Small thumbnails for other asset linked to the product page. By clicking on these small thumbnails, you can change the image displayed in the large thumbnail.
    • A "more..." button. By clicking on it, you directly access the asset tab of the product page.

    Name, Code, and Main Attributes

    Main data

    The central block of the header contains:

    • The product page title, corresponding to the document's "name" attribute.
    • The document code, with two nearby buttons to copy and edit this code.
    Action buttons
    • A dropdown menu to select and modify the attribute set of the product page.
    Attribute Set
    • The main attributes configured by the administrator in the PIM instance's data model.
    🚧

    Limitations

    It is possible to display up to 8 main attributes in the product page header.


    Breadcrumb

    The breadcrumb at the top right of the product page shows the position of the product page within the classification hierarchy. The classification is interactive and allows navigation to higher levels.

    Breadcrumb

    Content Tabs

    General

    This tab is where you enter and edit most of the text descriptions for a product page. It generally contains several sections with distinct groups of attributes to be completed. The exact layout of the document type is configured by your Quable PIM administrator.

    General informations
    📘

    Note

    The tab named "General" is a generic editing tab. The Quable PIM administrator can rename it or create other tabs of this nature.


    Quable AI Text Generation Tools

    📘

    Prerequisites

    To use the generative AI feature on the product page, your Quable PIM instance administrator must have configured the feature in advance.

    With Quable AI, users can easily generate relevant and accurate content with just a few clicks, enhancing their productivity. This feature enables users to fully leverage artificial intelligence for enriched and consistent product descriptions.


    Identifying the Quable AI Text Generation Button

    A button is available next to text input fields, allowing users to generate relevant prompts to automatically complete their text entries.

    AI button

    Generating Content

    Click the AI prompt button to automatically generate content.

    Automatic AI content

    Monitoring Prompt Usage

    If you are using an instance with a free subscription, Quable PIM displays the number of remaining prompts when using AI on the document page. Notifications inform you of the remaining prompts based on current usage.

    Prompt

    Calculated Attributes

    📘

    Prerequisites

    To use the calculated attributes feature on the product page, the administrator of your Quable PIM instance must have enabled and set-up the feature beforehand.


    Overview

    Calculated attributes automatically generate attribute values based on other attributes already filled in the product sheet. They appear like standard attributes, but their content is dynamically computed using a formula.

    Calculated attribute

    A calculated attribute:

    • Appears greyed out on the product sheet,
    • Is marked with a sigma symbol Σ on the product sheet,
    • Is a non-localized and non-editable attribute,
    • Displays a result in text format.

    A calculated attribute is based on a formula defined in the administration menu. This formula combines one or more attributes using mathematical operators (+, -, *, /) and functions such as text concatenation, average calculation, and others.

    👍

    Good to know

    • Formulas can only include attributes from the same product sheet.
    • Only non-localized attributes can be used in a calculated attribute formula.
    • Formulas cannot be based on other calculated attributes or on attributes from other product sheets, variants, or asset sheets.

    Enrichment process

    The values of calculated attributes populate automatically based on other attributes in the product sheet. In order for the calculated field to display a result, all attributes used in the formula must be filled.

    If one or more attributes in the formula are empty, an exclamation mark (!) will appear next to the calculated attribute. Hovering over the icon will display a list of missing attributes. If there’s an error in the formula (e.g., division by zero), an explicit error message will be displayed instead of the result.

    Calculated attributes are updated automatically:

    • when a value of an attribute used in the formula is modified,
    • during a bulk edit,
    • or when the formula is modified by the administrator.
    ⚠️

    Limitation

    The usual restrictions related to attributes and bulk actions also apply to calculated attributes.


    Save your changes

    When you enrich attributes in the General tab, the changes are not saved automatically. A box at the bottom of the product page appears to inform you of the number of fields modified and invites you to save or cancel your changes.

    At any time, you can save the changes made to a product page by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the page or Cancel to discard the changes.

    Save

    Assets

    This tab lets you manage the digital multimedia files (assets) associated with a product page.

    Asset

    Assets are displayed one after another in the sections that correspond to the link type used to associate them with the product page.

    Just after the link name, the number of associated assets for that link is displayed. This helps quickly identify how many assets are used for specific purposes (e.g., collections, print, web, etc.).

    🚧

    Important note

    Since assets are associated with documents through links, you must have the following cross-reference permissions to manage them: CreateUpdateDelete.


    Add assets

    At the level of each section corresponding to the link used, click + Add an asset. There are three ways to add assets to a product sheet:

    • Searching in the DAM. Enter at least three characters of the Name or Code of an existing asset in the search bar: a dropdown list of assets will automatically appear. Click the checkboxes to add or remove assets from the section.

      Add asset
    • Upload a local file. Drag and drop files into the window, or click "Choose files". The new asset will automatically be associated with the document and imported into the DAM’s default classification.

    Upload asset
    External asset

    Reorder assets

    You can change the order of assets within a section by clicking the ⋮⋮ on the asset thumbnail, then dragging and dropping.

    Reorder asset

    The main asset of the product page is the first asset in the first section. To select an asset from another section as the main asset, the administrator must change the position of the link type of the selected section.

    Compressed download

    You can download a compressed file containing all assets available in the asset tab of the product page by clicking the Download button. Assets are downloaded in their native format (no resizing).

    Additional actions

    When hovering over an asset, additional buttons appear, allowing you to perform actions on the selected asset:

    Additional asset actions

    More details

    Clicking the More details button takes you directly to the asset page.

    Download the asset

    Clicking the Download the asset button opens a dialog box to specify the size to download:

    Download asset
    • Original file – The file is downloaded in its original size. Note that depending on the format, it may be quite large.
    • Image Resizer Profile – You can specify the Image Resizer Profile to apply. This option is used for image files.

    Make your selections and click the Download button to download the asset, or Cancel to abort.

    Unlink

    Clicking the Unlink button removes the link between the document and the asset.

    👍

    Note

    Unlinking an asset from a document does not delete it. If the asset is:

    • associated with one or more other documents ➡️ the asset is simply detached from the document.
    • not associated with any other document ➡️ it becomes orphaned.

    Delete

    Clicking the Delete button permanently deletes the asset from the document and from Quable PIM.

    ❗️

    Warning

    This action is irreversible. Once an asset is deleted, it cannot be recovered.


    Related Documents

    This tab allows managing other documents related with the product page.

    Related document

    The links between documents are displayed in the left dropdown menu, and the number of related documents for each link is shown immediately after the link name. This allows quickly identifying the number of related documents used for specific purposes (e.g., cross-selling, upselling, etc.).

    👍

    Rights and Permissions

    Since related documents are connected to documents through links, you need the following cross-reference permissions to manage them: Create - Update - Delete.

    ActionDescription
    Associate DocumentsYou can add related documents by performing a quick search. Enter at least three characters of the Name or Code of an existing document in the search bar.
    Disassociate DocumentsYou can remove an related document by clicking the Dissociate button, or by selecting a group of documents and clicking the Unlink Selection button.

    📘

    Note

    Only the image-variant link is available for associating asset with a variant.


    Tasks

    This tab allows you to manage tasks associated with the product page.

    Tasks

    At the top of the tab, you will find Filters. Use the dropdown menus to filter tasks displayed by status, category, created by, and/or assigned to.

    📘

    Note

    Only the product page, its attributes, its links, and its assets (if applicable) are copied. Variants are not copied because they can only belong to one product page.


    Translate attributes

    The Translate attributes button opens a full-page workspace dedicated to translation, letting you translate your product's attributes from one language to another. It's the preferred tool when you need to localize a Product Sheet productively, attribute by attribute.

    Access the translation workspace

    1. Open the product page you want to translate.
    2. In the top right, open the Actions > More actions menu.
    3. Click Translate attributes.

    An overlay opens across the whole page: this is your translation workspace. It stays focused on the current product, without leaving the sheet.

    🚧

    Language access rights

    Access to this feature depends on the language rights defined per language attribute in Administration > Users > User profile. A user with no rights on a language will not be able to translate it. See the Translate attributes section for details.

    Attribute translation lets you localize the content of a Product Sheet from a source language to a destination language, in a single workspace built for productivity. In practice, you view the original value and its translation side by side, and you fill in the target language manually or using automatic translation.

    📘

    Good to know

    Attribute translation only works with localized attributes (attributes configured as translatable in the Data Model). Non-localized attributes do not appear in the translation workspace.


    The translation workspace

    The translation workspace is organized into three columns:

    ColumnContent
    AttributeThe name of the attributes to translate
    Source languageThe original value, read-only, used as a reference
    Destination languageThe field to fill in with the translation

    By default:

    • The source language is the user's reference language, set in their User profile (Administration console).
    • The destination language is the data language you are currently on.

    Search for an attribute

    A search bar is available in the overlay. It searches the attribute's name and code: handy for quickly finding a specific field in a content-heavy Product Sheet.

    Navigate between tabs and sections

    A navigation bar on the left of the overlay lists every tab and section of the product page. You can move from one part of the sheet to another without losing track of your translation.


    Use automatic translation

    Two levels of automatic translation are available. The engine used is Google Translate.

    • "Auto translation" button (global): fills in only the empty fields in the destination column. Fields that already contain a value are not modified.

    • Field-by-field translation: when you click a field in the destination column, an auto-translate button appears. It translates that single field only, even if it already contained a value (the value is then replaced).

    👍

    Tip

    Use global automatic translation to quickly rough out a Product Sheet (it only touches empty fields), then field-by-field translation to re-translate or correct a specific attribute.


    Data inheritance and translation

    Some values displayed in the translation workspace may be inherited (for example, from one language to another). It's important to understand how inheritance interacts with translation:

    • In the translation workspace, inherited data is not locked as a "fixed" value: you can always modify it. This prevents it from being overwritten by the automatic translation button.
    • After modification and saving, the data is written as a "fixed" value in the field.
    • The inheritance mechanism applies only when there is no "fixed" value in the field (attribute). As soon as a raw value is saved in the attribute, it no longer inherits.
    📘

    In summary

    As long as a field has not been saved manually, it keeps inheriting. As soon as you enter and save a value, the field keeps that value as a "fixed" value and stops inheriting.


    Print

    👍

    Prerequisite

    The Quable PIM administrator must configure a print channel for this feature to be available.

    You can generate a product sheet in PDF format by clicking the Print button. A new browser window will open to display the generated PDF.

    The PDF product sheet contains the following information:

    InformationDescription
    Classification HierarchyThe classification hierarchy from which the product page originates.
    PDF Creation DateThe date when the PDF was created.
    Page NameThe name of the product page. (Automatically included)
    Data Model Information

    The product page settings within the data model:

    • Code - The unique identifier of the document.
    • Type - The document type.
    • Attribute Set - The attribute set(s) used by the document.

    Main MediaThe main media of the product page (images only).
    AttributesThe attributes selected for the print channel.
    VariantsThe variants of the product page (Code and Label only).
    📘

    Note

    PDF product sheets are only available for product pages, their attributes, and their variants. Other related objects are not available for PDF printing.

    Remove
    ❗️

    Attention

    This action is irreversible. Once a document is deleted, it cannot be recovered.


    Collaboration Widgets

    On the right side of the product page, you will find collaboration widgets. By default, all widgets are visible, but you can collapse them for better readability by clicking the arrow at the beginning of the section. These widgets can also be rearranged using drag-and-drop by clicking the ⋮⋮ icon at the beginning of the row.

    Widgets

    Activity History

    In the Last Edited section, you can view the most recent actions performed on the product page. The feed displays the name of the person who performed the action and the date it was carried out.

    Last update

    Click More to get additional details about the action, including the data language used for the modification if applicable. You will then be able to view the full history on a dedicated page displaying all modifications:

    Document activities

    Each individual modification is listed in a table displaying:

    • Start Date - the date the modification was made
    • Author - the person who made the modification (profile picture is also displayed)
    • Actions - the type of modification performed
    • Languages - the data language used for the modification

    Click the i icon at the end of the row to open a dialog box with additional details about the modification:

    Detail activity

    The details are color-coded to indicate the type of change:

    • GREEN = new values, information has been added.
    • RED = old values, information has been modified or deleted.
    👍

    Note

    To close the history page and return to the product page, use the breadcrumb navigation at the top right and click Document Page.

    Changes to the last modified date without an activity

    In Quable PIM, some actions can update a record's last modified date without generating an entry in its activity feed.

    As a result, a record may appear to have been recently modified even though no corresponding action is visible in its activity history. This is expected in the following cases:

    • Creating or modifying an automatic tag assignment rule
    • Creating, modifying, or deleting a completeness configuration
    • Reordering the variants of a product record

    If a record has a recent last modified date but no corresponding action appears in its activity history, one of these actions may be the reason.
