Overview

The Released products form is one of the main forms to start form.

Note that there is the standard Populate product attribute values periodic job that is used to populate the product attribute values. It is not required to be run on the test drive environment, but if you play in your own environment don’t forget to run it.

To filter products by hierarchy/category and attributes do the following:

• Lookup the Hierarchy, Category field

• Select the Contoso online hierarchy and Headphones category and click Ok

• Attributes that are assigned to the Headphones category appear automatically on the search pane. The grid is refreshed and contains released products from the Headphones category only.

• Select, for example, the following values in the attribute filters:
  • Bluetooth = Yes,
  • Brand = Proseware,
  • Connector = Mini USB.

The grid is refreshed each time a new attribute filter value is selected.

Each attribute lookup shows needed attribute value automatically.

The Product attribute fact box is added to be able to review product attributes on the form.

With the help of the Product Attribute Search the ‘4306’ item with Bluetooth, Prosware brand and Mini USB connector has been found in the USRT company.

Click the Copy button. The filtered items separated by comma will be copied to the clipboard. This can be used to copy the item list into other queries i.e. reports.
