Products

The Products page lists all products visible in your workspace, with tools to search, filter, sort, select, and export them. It does not cover the per-product detail page or MAP configuration.

The list shows 10 products per page. The footer shows the total number of matching products and the number of active filters.

Each row shows:

  • Image. The product thumbnail.
  • Product. The product name, which links to the product detail page, plus optional badges:
    • Related. The product matched by meaning but does not contain your search term literally. See Searching.
    • Promo or N promos. One or more listings include promotion details.
    • Last-seen timestamp. Hover to see the exact date and time.
    • A variant line under the name (material, color, or similar) when the product carries that data, so two products with the same name stay distinguishable without opening the detail page.
  • Brand. Shows a collection or product-line name underneath when known.
  • Category
  • Min Price and Max Price. The lowest and highest current price across the product’s listings.

0:00In this video I will show you how to search the products list by name, and how to narrow results to an exact match with quotes.

0:08Click the Search box and type the product name. Results update as you type, even with typos, thanks to typo-tolerant matching.

0:23To search for an exact match, wrap the term in double quotes. Retype your search with correct spelling, quotes included.

0:30The list now shows only the exact match for wireless earbuds. The Related result is gone, because quoted search returns exact matches only.

Type in the Search box to filter by product name, brand, ID, SKU, or barcode. Results update as you type.

A normal search uses up to four tiers, ranked in order:

  1. Exact match. A product whose full name equals your term ranks first, followed by an exact match on ID, SKU, or barcode.
  2. Substring match on name, brand, ID, SKU, or barcode
  3. Typo-tolerant fuzzy matching. For example, “samsng” still finds Samsung products.
  4. Semantic similarity. Products related in meaning but sharing no text with your term appear with a Related badge.

Quoted search. Wrap your term in double quotes, for example "samsung galaxy", to restrict results to literal matches only. The search skips fuzzy and semantic matching, so only products that literally contain your term (in name, brand, ID, SKU, or barcode) are returned.

When a search term is active and you have not selected a sort column, the list orders results by relevance: exact matches first, then substring matches, then semantic neighbours by closeness.

Active filters appear as removable pills below the filter bar. Click × on a pill to remove that filter, or Clear all to reset everything at once.

Multi-select dropdown. Your other active filters scope the list of brands. When you select one brand, the others stay in the dropdown, so you can add more.

The category control is a taxonomy node picker. This is a multi-column panel. You navigate it by hovering or focusing through parent and child nodes. Product counts appear beside each node. When you select a parent category, the filter also includes all of its subcategories. The panel pins selected nodes at the top so you can remove them quickly. A search box above the panel lets you jump straight to a category by name. Each match lists its parent category and product count. When you clear the search, the panel returns to the column view.

If your workspace has no categories, the Category control is still shown but disabled. Hover it to see “This workspace has no categories.”

A labelled multi-select beside Brand, Category and Attribute in the filter bar. Its placeholder is “All competitors”. Pick one or more competitors to show only products tracked for them. The list is searchable.

0:00 / 0:30 Filter products by attribute
Recorded against an older version of Aperture. Steps may differ. The text on this page is current.

0:00In this video I will show you how to narrow the product list by a product attribute, such as color.

0:06Click Add attribute in the filter bar to open the attribute picker.

0:10Attributes are grouped into My attributes and Global attributes. Hover a group to see its list.

0:16Select Color to open its own filter control.

0:18Select Black, then select White, to match products with either color.

0:22Only black and white products are left in the list, and the filter pills show the active color filter.

The Attribute control filters by normalised product attributes. It is available when the products you are looking at carry attributes defined as filterable, whether from your own feature sets or from the category taxonomy. The button shows “Add attribute” or a count of your active attribute filters.

Open it to see a searchable list of attributes. Type to find one by name, or browse the list directly. Attributes you have already filtered on appear under Selected. The rest are grouped into My attributes, which holds your workspace’s own attributes, and Global attributes, which holds attributes from the category taxonomy. Hover or select a group to see its attributes listed alongside it. Select an attribute to open its own control. The control depends on the attribute’s type:

  • Values. Check one or more values. Each value shows its product count. A search box narrows a long list. If more values match than fit, a note prompts you to search to see the rest. Yes/No attributes list their values directly, without a search box.
  • Range. Drag the slider or type exact minimum and maximum numbers. Measurement attributes such as weight, volume, or size are normalised to one consistent unit. Equivalent values therefore group under a single range regardless of how the original listing expressed them. The unit appears below the fields.
  • Text. Type a value and press Enter or click Apply to match products whose attribute contains that text.

A back arrow at the top of the attribute’s control returns you to the attribute list so you can pick another one. If an attribute you have already selected has no matching values under your current filters, its control shows a message with a Remove filter button instead.

Within a single attribute, selecting multiple values returns products that match any of them. The values combine with OR. Across different attributes, the filters combine with AND.

Click + Add filter to open more filters:

FilterWhat it does
AssortmentScope the list to a specific subset of your catalogue
AvailabilityChoose Any, Available, or Unavailable to restrict the list to currently available or unavailable products
PriceSet a minimum and/or maximum price with a range slider. A histogram shows the price distribution of the products that match your other filters, so the full range stays visible while you drag the slider

Assortment options:

  • All Products. No restriction. This is the default.
  • My Products. Products your retailer carries.
  • Exclusives. Products only your retailer carries.
  • Common. Products your retailer shares with at least one competitor.
  • Competitor Only. Products that competitors carry but you do not. This is the assortment gap.

Click a column header to sort by it. The sortable columns are Product, Brand, Category, Min Price, and Max Price. Click again to reverse the direction. Click a third time to clear the column sort and return to the default order. The default order is relevance while you are searching, and newest products first otherwise.

0:00 / 0:42 Selecting products and bulk actions
Recorded against an older version of Aperture. Steps may differ. The text on this page is current.

0:00In this video I'll show you how to select multiple products in the list and add them to a list using bulk actions.

0:07Tick the checkbox on a product row to select it, or click anywhere in the row except the product name, which opens the product detail page.

0:15Use the header checkbox to select every product on the current page.

0:19The floating bar at the bottom of the screen shows your selection count.

0:23Click Actions to open the Bulk Actions command palette.

0:27Select Add to List from the command palette to start adding your selection to a list.

0:32Type a name for a new list, then select Create to add your products to it.

0:36The selected products are added to the new list, and the selection is cleared.

Tick the checkbox on any row to select it. You can also click anywhere in the row except the product name, which opens the product detail page. Use the header checkbox to select every product on the current page.

When you select one or more products, a floating bar appears at the bottom of the screen and shows the count. From there:

  • Actions. Opens the bulk-action command palette. ⌘ K or Ctrl K also opens it. The palette contains:
    • Export…. Opens the CSV export dialog scoped to the selected products.
    • Add to List…. Adds the selection to an existing list. Type a new name and press Enter to create a list on the spot.
    • Remove from List…. Shows the lists that already contain your selection; pick one to remove the selected products from that list. Disabled if none of the selected products are in a list.
  • Clear. Deselects all.

Click Export CSV at the top right of the filter bar to open the export dialog.

The dialog is organised into Scope, Aggregation & Date range, and Columns. An export summary and a Format section follow. The Format section offers CSV output with an optional Include column headers toggle.

  • Current filtered results. Products that match your active search and filters, the same set the product list shows.
  • All products. The full catalogue, ignoring any active filters.
  • Selected products. Only the rows you checked. This option appears when products are selected.

Choose which price metrics to include. The metrics are Current, Min, Max, and/or Average. Then choose how to group rows:

  • Product. One row per product.
  • Product listings by retailer. One row per product for each retailer that lists it. Retailers that report sub-resellers produce one row per sub-reseller as well.

The date range controls how far back the export looks at price history for the Min, Max, and Average metrics. Except under Latest, it also restricts the Current metric:

  • Latest. No time limit applies. Current is each listing’s most recent price observation. Under the Product grouping, Current is the lowest such current price across the product’s listings. Min, Max, and Average are computed across all recorded price history.
  • Last 7 days. Restricts every selected price metric, including Current, to the last 7 days.
  • Last 30 days. Restricts every selected price metric, including Current, to the last 30 days.
  • Custom. Pick a start and end date to restrict every selected price metric, including Current, to that window.

Use the search box to find columns by name. Select all and Clear all at the top of the Columns section apply to all columns at once. Some columns are required for a given grouping and cannot be deselected. Product ID is always included, so exported attribute values can always be matched back to the right product for a bulk update. The Product listings by retailer grouping also always includes Retailer ID, Retailer Name, and Product URL.

Category attribute columns sit under a single Category Attributes section, which you can expand or collapse. A filter above the subsections narrows the columns shown to All, My, or Global attributes, the same distinction used by the Attribute filter, and Select all My / Select all Global buttons quick-select across every category at once. Below that, the section has one subsection per category. Each category subsection shows a selected count and a single button. The button selects all of the subsection’s columns, or clears them once all are selected. Other column groups, including a Common Attributes group with up to 50 of the attributes most common across your current result set, show a collapse toggle and a selected count but have no per-group select-all.

The summary shows the product count and total column count before you export.

Under Format, the output type is CSV. Use the Include column headers toggle to control whether the first row of the file contains column names. The toggle is on by default. When the export uses the Product grouping and includes attribute columns, the export overrides this toggle and always writes headers, because that combination is the round-trip source for bulk attribute updates.

Click Export N products (M columns) to download the file. The filename includes today’s date and a _selected suffix when the export is scoped to selected products.
