The Products grid shows products associated with an event. The products available depend on which suppliers are associated with the event. From this grid, you can add or associate products, update pricing, manage product availability, and export or print price lists.
Products Grid
When you add a supplier to an event, its products are associated with the event automatically. If you remove a supplier, its products are also removed from the event unless they have already been used in an order.
Use the filters at the top of the grid to find products or narrow the list.
Product Filters
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Search by product name. |
| Category | Filter by navigation category. |
| Code | Search by product code. |
| Type | Filter by revenue type. |
| Supplier | Filter by supplier. |
| On Sale | Show products marked as on sale in the event. |
| Is Bundle | Show products that are bundles. |
Commands above the grid let you manage the products available in the event.
Add New Product
Use Add New Product to create a product without leaving the event. The product is added permanently to the supplier; it is not limited to this event. For details, see Creating Products.
Associate a Product
Use Associate a Product to add an existing supplier product to an event. A product may not be associated automatically if:
- It is configured not to publish automatically in Admin or on the Storefront.
- It was created after the event and supplier were set up.
To associate a product:
- Click Associate a Product above the grid.
- Use the Picklist search criteria to find the product or products.
- Double-click a product, or select multiple products and click >> to move them to the right side of the Picklist.
- Click Apply Selection.
Note: The Picklist only shows products from suppliers associated with the event. If the product is not listed, first associate its supplier with the event. See how to associate a supplier.
Import Product Pricing
Use Import Product Pricing to update prices for multiple products at once using an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet must use Boomer’s required format. To get a correctly formatted spreadsheet, first use Export Price List.
To import product pricing:
- Click Import Product Pricing above the Products grid.
- Click Browse and select the Excel file.
- Click Import to apply the prices in the spreadsheet.
Edit Selected Products
For bulk price changes, use the Export Price List and Import Product Pricing commands. Use Edit Selected Products to update split or commission values for multiple products.
- Use the search filters above the Products grid to display the products you want to edit.
- Select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the grid to select the displayed products.
-
Click Edit Selected Products above the search criteria. A dialog opens.
- Select the price tier whose split you want to change.
- Set the Split Type to Amount or Percent.
- Enter the amount or percentage in New Split Value. Commission splits are usually entered as a percentage.
- Repeat the split type and value steps for Advance Split Type and Advance Split Value, if needed.
Remove Selected Products
To remove multiple products from an event:
- Use the search filters above the Products grid to display the products you want to remove.
- Select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the grid to select the displayed products.
- Click Remove Selected Products above the search criteria.
Note: You can remove up to 50 products at a time. To remove more, repeat the process or increase the number of rows displayed in the grid.
Important: A product cannot be removed if it appears in an order or shopping cart for the event.
Export Price List
Export a price list to create an Excel spreadsheet of the event’s products and their current prices. You can edit the spreadsheet and import it into the same event or a different event to update multiple products. You can also reuse a spreadsheet later to apply its pricing to an event.
To export and update a price list:
-
In the event’s Products grid, click Export Price List.
-
When the report opens, click the blue disk icon to export the products to Excel.
- Edit the pricing and, if needed, the columns that control whether each product is available on the Storefront or in Admin. Save the spreadsheet.
-
In the event’s Products grid, click Import Product Pricing.
- Browse to the saved spreadsheet and import it to update the event’s prices.
Print Price List
Click Print Price List to generate a printable report showing the event’s products and their prices.
