Sections

Sections are a convenient way to group and reuse attributes for your products in Ergonode PIM.

You can create different sections for different purposes, such as SEO, technical data, marketing information, or sales channels. You can then use these sections in your product templates or in your workflow conditions (if combined with the "Completeness set").

Sections are only for your internal use in Ergonode PIM. They are not meant to be exported to your eCommerce platform. They are only to help you organize and enrich your product data in a user-friendly way.

To create and manage sections, you can use the following options:

• Create a new section: To create a new section, click on the “+ New section” button in the upper left corner of the screen. This will open a window where you need to enter a code (name) for the section. The name should be descriptive and should be unique. Then, click on the “Create” button to confirm the creation of the section. Or "Create & Edit" to create the new section and open it in edit mode.

• Edit an existing section: To edit an existing section, click on the "edit (pen) icon" next to the section name. This will take you to a page with three tabs: “General”, “Translations”, and “Designer”.

  • In the “General” tab, you can see the section code (name). You cannot change the code, in case you need to do so, please clone this section with a new name and delete this one.

  • In the “Translations” tab, you can translate the name of the section into different languages.

  • In the “Designer” tab, you can add, remove, or reorder the attributes that belong to the section. You can also set an attribute as required.

• Delete a section: To delete a section, click on the bin icon next to the section name. This will open a confirmation window where you need to click on the “Delete” button to confirm the deletion of the section. You can only delete a section if it is not used in any product template. If the section is used in a product template, you need to remove it from the template first, before deleting it.

• Change display settings: To change the display settings of a section, click on the cog icon in the upper right part of the screen. This will open a window where you can change the size of the table (grid).

It's only possible to delete a section if it's not used in any template.

Sections are a great way to make your product management easier and more efficient in Ergonode PIM. You can use them to create consistent and attractive product cards that suit your needs and preferences.

The number next to the edit (pen) icon indicates the number of attributes in that section.

You can search within the grid by double-clicking on the first row of a column, typing, and then pressing enter.

It's also possible to sort data in a grid by clicking on the sort icon that will show up when you hover the mouse over a title row.

To change the position of a column, drag and drop it.
