Managing parameters

Parameter values on individual products — what is filled in, what the vendor sent, and what the system made of it.

Available to roles Admin, Editor, ViewerOpen in the app (Opens in a new tab)

System overview shows one row per parameter. This screen shows one row per product and value — the close-up view, for when you need to know why a particular product carries the value it does.

Managing parameters: tabs by mapping state and a table of product, parameter, value and original value
Fig. 1 — Managing parameters. The “Original value” column is what the vendor sent; “Value” is what normalisation made of it.

Controls on this screen

  1. Vendor filter — Narrows to one feed. The first step when chasing what a particular vendor sends.
  2. All parameters — The figure counts product-and-value pairs, not parameters. That is why it is orders of magnitude larger.
  3. Unmapped — Values with no target parameter. This is the queue of work.
  4. Mapped — Values that made it through normalisation.
  5. By target parameter — Grouped by your parameter — useful when checking one property across the catalogue.
  6. Switching the view — The screen itself offers the jump to the system overview when you want one row per parameter.
  7. Product — The name and code of the product the value belongs to.
  8. Parameter and its origin — Your parameter, its code, and beneath it "Original" — the name it arrived under from the feed.
  9. Value — The value after normalisation, as stored on the product. With an arrow “→” under it the shop gets the value after the arrow; “→ Not carried over” means it gets nothing.
  10. Original value — What the vendor sent, where it differs from the result. A dash means nothing was translated.
  11. State — "Normalised" means the value went through a mapping.

When to come here

SituationWhat you find here
A product shows an odd value in the shop.Comparing "Original value" with "Value" says whether the vendor sent it that way, or a mapping caused it.
A shop filter offers duplicates.The Unmapped tab shows the spellings that are not yet unified.
I want to check one property across the catalogue.The By target parameter tab groups all values of one parameter.
Why does “All parameters” read over 130,000?

It is not a count of parameters but of filled values: every product contributes as many rows as it has parameters filled.

The Original value column is empty.

The value went through no translation — the vendor sent it in exactly the form being used.

Can I correct a value here?

A single value is edited on the product detail. If the same error repeats across products, fix it with a value mapping — otherwise the next import brings it back.
