View My Products section is introduced for you to access information, metrics, analytics, and more through multiple widgets. User can navigate to this page from Products>Products Dashboard. The default catalog details will be of the Primary Catalog assigned to the logged in user. Users will have an option to change the catalog selection.
From Products, user can perform the following three actions:
View My Products – The products from the user's own catalog(s) can be viewed. You can search for your products using a variety of filters and take a number of different actions on products.
Product Dashboard – In an interactive dashboard, you can see all the data related to the catalog. The interactive dashboard will assist you in taking specific actions by redirecting you to various pages to improve the quality of your catalog.

Filters
You can find a specific product by using the filters option. The system includes a function that allows you to save your filter criteria in case you find that you use a particular filter frequently or you use complex filter criteria. Applying the same filter settings repeatedly will be time-saving as a result.
By inputting the string, you can perform a straight product search from Search Products. However, occasionally we struggle to recall the precise product name. Filters can be applied to fields like Taxonomy, Attribute, Product Item ID, Product Title, DA Linkage, Products that have Missing Data, Products Data Quality Score, View Products/Product Family, and Assortments in such a situation.
The following table describes each of these filter options to search the products:

The page is divided into three panels, left hand side shows the Asset information, Variant Information, PF, Relationships, alternate Hierarchy, Crosslisting and Assortment Information.
The Middle panel has 5 tabs, Attributes, Assets, Channels, Variants and Relationships.
In the middle panel, at the top user can see the following drop-downs options:
Locale: This option is visible when there is multi-language support enabled for the catalog. You can select alternative language in which you would want to view the data. For detailed information refer to Multi-Language Support section.

If multiple SKUs are selected, then the back-and-forth arrow will take user to the respective SKUs.
If you make any changes to the fields, Save button will be enabled and you can save the changes.
The two tabs available under the Attributes tab are All Attributes and Attributes Groups.
All Attributes:
Once you begin typing the attribute name, a drop-down list of all matches is shown. Each attribute field will have options to edit, clear, copy, paste, delete the attribute, add multivalue, and Add UoM. On clicking Add UoM, enter the value in UoM or type to filter the available UoM’s. Attribute data type could be string or decimal or integer. If the attribute has LOVs, and when user clicks on the edit icon, the list of values that are associated to the attribute are displayed and based on the keywords entered, the LOVs will be listed. You can also opt to enter a value outside this list.
For any Attribute, you can click the Remove Attribute 
icon to remove attributes. When modifying, you can input the UoM of the attribute and add the attribute's value. You can add multiple attribute values and copy the attributes' properties from the one you choose to all the additional attributes. The Attributes can be filtered on the basis of five panels as given below:
Descriptive Attributes: Attributes with tags Product Long Description and Product Short Description are displayed. The count of descriptive attributes will be seen. If these attributes exist in a different section, it will have an icon ‘DESC’
Branding Attributes: Attributes with tags Brand Name and Manufacture Name are displayed. The count of Branding attributes will be seen. If these attributes exist in a different section, it will have an icon ‘BRND’.
Identifier Attributes: Attributes with tags Manufacturer Part Number and UPC are displayed. The count of Identifier attributes will be seen. If these attributes exist in a different section, it will have an icon ‘IDNT’.
Marketing Attributes: Attributes with tags Marketing Copy, Marketing Bullet, and Price will be displayed. The count of Marketing attributes will be seen. If these attributes exist in a different section, it will have an icon ‘MRKT’.
If any attribute value is missing, a warning that the attribute is missing with the count is displayed. If the attribute is repeated in other groups, editing the value in one place will update the value everywhere. On hovering, 'This attribute is repeated in other sections, making a change to the value will impact the attribute value in all sections.' So, for these attributes it will have 2 icons MRKT and this icon if it repeats.
Category Attributes: The count of category attributes along with all schema attributes for this node will be displayed. The total number of validation errors can be viewed. Since these are schema attributes, this section will display the validation errors when the SKU attribute value does not abide by the rule. There will be * icons next to the attribute if it is a required attribute, and if the value is empty, the field for attribute value will be highlighted in red. So even if there is no value, the category attributes will have an empty field so user can enter a value. When user enters any value and if it does not match with the constraint then the error is posted right on the field with the field highlighted in red. The validation is checked for a SKU as soon as the value is entered in the field. If there is an error, there will be a red x icon with the validation error counts, if there is no error there will be a green check.
Users will be able to add schema attributes from this section if you have the schema view privilege and only then the Add Attribute option will be displayed. There will be a message ‘Adding this attribute will automatically add it to all the SKUs in this category’. Also, when user adds schema attributes, it displays the schema add view where user can add LOVs, UoMs and constraints.
Other Attributes: The count of other (SKUs) attributes will be displayed. There will be no validation errors seen here as these are just the SKU attributes. User will be able to add a new attribute from the master or a brand new attribute if they have the permission to add. There will be a warning ‘This attribute will be added to the Attribute Master and to this SKU only’ when user attempts to add a brand new attribute.
To enable multi-language for attributes:
When you create an attribute and select the Default Autoset Choice to Translate then the attribute and its value gets translated into the selected alternative language in the attribute section as shown in the below screenshots.
So, you can see the multi-language 
icon gets displayed next to the attribute as shown below:
The attribute level default autoset flag will govern the behaviour of the system generated alternate value for SKU attribute value.
Steps to view all the alternative languages enabled:
Select the attribute which has locale enabled and click on the
icon.You’ll land on All enabled locale values with different contexts pop-up.
On this pop-up, you can see all the alternative languages set as an individual tab.
From the below screenshot, you can see the contextualized value or name of the attribute is translated and displayed in Spanish and Marathi, so the same will be shown for all the set languages.
Please note that any field consisting of numbers cannot be translated and will always be displayed in English.
Attribute Groups: All attribute groups associated to this SKU attribute will be seen here. Each of the groups is a collapsible panel. The count of attributes for each group will be displayed next to each group. This will be collapsed by default.
On clicking Add Attribute Group button, search for the associated Attribute Group and click Add to SKU.
Assets tab will display the Linked Assets and Recommended Assets associated to the product. By selecting the Upload button, you can upload a new asset.
On uploading a brand-new asset which is not present in DA library, it needs to go through the DA import, and will not be readily seen in the asset section. Such images will be grayish with message that ‘The data is being processed now; the assets will be available in active state once the processing is complete in a few minutes’.
You can delink the current assets from the product or link new assets to the SKU. The three-dot icon assists the user in downloading the file and editing any accompanying photo assets.
Under Linked Assets, Asset Thumbnail, Asset Name, Asset Type, Primary, Active From, Active Through, and Action column will be displayed. Action column displays the thumbnail, if not recognized will be gray, and if the image is recognized the icon will be green. If the image is not recognized, then the message ‘Oops Image is not recognized’ is displayed and user can trigger Image recognition. If green, then hovering over the green icon will show Possible Objects and Sensitivity details. The other Action icon will be the eye icon which displays all details of the asset.

Channels will display whether the Catalog is Outbound or Inbound or both. Outbound represents Supplier syndicating to distributors whereas Inbound represents Distributor's understanding to view the SKUs originating from different channels.
OUTBOUND
If a supplier is looking at the SKU information and intends to see the different outbound channels, then that information is listed here. Each card will be an outbound channel with the distributor logo, Channel Name, Type of integration, Last Syndicated On. Below that, the Channel Enablement Status, Readiness and Action columns are displayed. If Type is Direct Integrations, the channel enablement status will be either Syndicated with count or Never Syndicated. The values for Readiness could be Ready or Not Ready. If Readiness is Ready, Action will be Syndicate Now, whereas if action is Not Ready, an option to view List of Problems is displayed.
If the Type of Integration is DataBridge, the channel enablement values are Never Mapped, Mapped Never Built, Mapped, Build is Obsolete, Mapped, Build is Current. The Readiness values are Undeterminable, Ready, and Not Ready. When the channel enablement statuses are never mapped, Mapped, never built and Mapped, Build is obsolete then the Readiness value will be Undeterminable. When the Readiness value is Ready, the Action will be Syndicate Now. Clicking on the hyperlink will move to the export grid page mimicking the DataBridge export page for the target catalog. When Channel Enablement is Mapped, Never Built and Mapped, Build is Obsolete then the Action will be ‘Build Now’ which will take user to the DataBridge channel mapping page where you can change the state and run the build. When Readiness value is not Ready and channel enablement is Mapped, Build is current, the action icon will list Validation failure count and Attribute gap count. The mapped, build is obsolete and mapped, build is current will show the last built on details. If mapped, build is obsolete, then that status needs to be determined using the DataBridge SKU map details. Each of these counts take user to a pop up with the channel activation details. The target logo, target catalog, Target taxonomy node, Mapping rule used, DataBridge channel name are shown on top. The first tab will show the Validation details with count, and the second tab will show Attribute Gap count.

The columns are Attribute Name in Target Catalog, Validation Rule, Failure Message, Transformed Attribute Value in Target. Each of these columns have filter options. The target attributes are hyperlinked which will take user to the attribute mapping page of that source and target node in that respective channel.
Attribute Gap Count: The attribute gap count details are listed here. The columns are Attribute Name in Target Catalog (target attribute in DataBridge which was left unmapped), Attribute Gap Reason, Attribute Name in this Catalog (which will list the attribute name in this catalog, meaning the source catalog in DataBridge which had a missing source attribute value and so the target attribute is unmapped). The attributes are hyperlinked which will take user to the attribute mapping page of that source and target node in that respective channel.
For Grainger, it will open up the Grainger list of problems with the validation count. There will be a refresh icon as well. The columns will be Failed Attribute (PCC), Grainger Field Name, Current Value in Catalog, Failure Type, Validation Rule. The Current value in Catalog will have an edit option, which will open the Update value pop up. User can submit the value and then save the data in the Grainger list of problems pop up.
