Product lists

View product lists used in catalogs and campaigns, create new lists, and open products in the list.

The Product lists screen is where you define manually managed product sets: "Manually managed product sets; catalogs and campaigns use these." For example, you create a list for a showcase selection or products to be included in a campaign, then link this list to a catalog or campaign. From this screen, you can view defined lists, create new lists, and open products in a list in the Products screen.

Accessing the screen

Follow the menu path PIM & Catalog › Catalog › Product lists. If you do not see it in the menu, your account does not have permission for this screen.

The New list button only appears for accounts with permission to modify product lists.

Screen sections

1. The header Product lists, description, and the New list button on the right.
2. Search box and "x / y list" counter. This area only appears when at least one list is defined.
3. List table.

Filtering and searching

The counter shows the number of lists matching the search and the total number of lists (e.g., "3 / 12 list"). The search text is kept in the address bar; sharing the link opens the same results.

List

Lists are alphabetically sorted by name; there is no pagination, all lists appear in a single table.

Actions

Creating a new list

1. Click the New list button at the top right.
2. In the opened New list window, enter the list name in the List name field.
3. Click Save or press Enter on the keyboard.

• Save is disabled when the name is empty; if you enter only spaces and press Enter, a "List name cannot be empty." warning appears.
• If a list with the same name exists, a "A product list with this name already exists." warning appears. Case and extra spaces are ignored in comparison; e.g., "Summer Selection" and "summer selection" are considered the same. If a list with the same name is created elsewhere while you are on the screen, you will see the same warning upon saving.

If saved successfully, a "Product list created." notification appears with the list name, the window closes, and the table refreshes. If another error occurs, a red "Something went wrong" notification appears and the window remains open. Closing the window with Cancel clears the entered name.

Viewing products in a list

Click the list name or the Open products link. The Products screen opens in List view; the Product list filter is set to this list, so only products in the list are shown. The filter is kept in the address bar, so you can share this link.

Renaming, deleting, or adding/removing products from the list is not available on this screen. To link your created list to a catalog, use the Catalogs screen.

Common situations

• The list is empty, "No records found" is shown. "No product list has been defined yet." If you have permission, create the first list with New list.
• New list button is disabled. The button is disabled while lists are loading. If it remains disabled after loading and the message "Product list type (ProductList) is not defined in this setup; new lists cannot be created." appears at the top, your setup does not have the product list type; contact your system administrator. The button also remains disabled if lists fail to load.
• New list button is not visible. Your account does not have permission to modify product lists.
• "No list matches the search" is shown. Change or clear the search text.
• "A product list with this name already exists." warning appears. The same name is already used, ignoring case or spaces. Choose a different name or use the existing list.
• "PIM service is not configured." is shown. Your setup does not have a product service connection defined; contact your system administrator.
• List is not loading. Click the Retry button in the error box. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator with the Technical detail text.
