Grid edit
Grid edit is a view mode for products which allows you to edit multiple products at the same time in a grid view reminiscent of a spreadsheet-style interface:
This type of edit screen is commonly used on PIM systems and can help you save time on certain tasks.
To switch to the grid-edit view:
- Open a product list and select a number of products
- In the action-menu select Edit selected
Once you're in grid edit mode, you can use the action menu > manage columns screen to choose which fields you want to see in the grid, and then the grid edit column drop down menu to work with the product data.
What you can do on a column depends on the data type - not all operations are available on all types of data - but here are some of the options:
| Option | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sort ascending | Sort from lowest to highest | |
| Sort descending | Sort from highest to lowest | |
| Find | Find a value – or find and replace a value | |
| Set value | Set the value of the field on all products | |
| Filters | Filter list | |
| Revert changes in column | Reverts all changes to a column | |
| Freeze/unfreeze Column | Locks/unlocks the column so no changes can be made |
