New features in QuickUpdate v4.5:
Version v4.5 brings quite a lot of new features and improvements.
Besides the rather long list of new additions, there are a few
important aspects to note, which affect the overall usage experience:
1. Reduced size - we used special optimizing and compression techniques to bring down the size of the module dramatically.
In numbers, v4.5 is 75% smaller in size than v3.0.
This is important because of the mobile access we introduced in v4.0 and which means less network traffic and speedier access.
2. New mass-updating with sections - we introduced sections in this new version which reflect the updating context we want to use. One example is the "Attrributes" section which brings up a panel on half of the screen, listing combinations of the selected products.
This allows you to mass-update combinations for multiple products at once, because the listing consists of all the selected products' combinations.New key features:- Manage Images
- Manage product combinations
- Edit attributes & groups
- Manage reductions
- Quick filters
- Conditional formatting
- Accessible settings
- Employee access control
- Cross - computer layout
- Import / Export
Detailed:
1. Manage product images - allow easy add / delete / edit of product images. Also offers ability to mass-update images
2. Manage product combinations - update & mass-update product combinations by using the "Attributes" section. By selecting multiple products, you are able to mass-update combinations across multiple products.
3. Edit attributes and groups - rather self-explanatory, allows updating of attributes and attribute groups.
4. Manage reductions - reductions section allow update and mass-update of product reductions.
5. Quick filters - we introduces this feature to allow a very accessible way of filtering products. Below most column headers, there is an input field now, which redirects the input you type to the column header. There is no need this way, to go through the hassle of opening the column header menu and access the filters sub-menu.
6. Conditional formatting - yet another new feature which we saw as very useful is the ability to conditionally-format the product list. This allows a very efficient way of highlighting unwanted situations.
For example you can now create a formatting rule to color in red any product that has quantity = 0.7. Accessible settings - module settings are now available directly from within QuickUpdate application
8. Employee access control - you can now set which employees have access to QuickUpdate or not. It is you responsability to further manage access to the module configuration, so that an employee doe not grant him/herself access to QuickUpdate.
9. Cross-computer layout - the layout you configure in QuickUpdate now is remembered from wherever you access it again. It happens on an empolyee level so that every one benefits from their own preferred layout.
10. Edit inactive languages - you can now edit languages that are not active. They will be grayed out in the languages list, but are editable.
11. Added condition, manufacturer, wholesale price, location and in stock columns in product table.
12. Added "Margin" column - which displays the margin as a percent calculated from Price / Wholesale price. Can be used with the conditional formatter and filters to identify the most / least profitable products.
13. Import Export - allows importing products from CSV and exporting products to CSV and XLS
