Supplier Content Management 3.0 – features

Main focus in Supplier Content Management 3.0 has been to improve the usability. There are many small things in the user interface that has been improved, please read more below.

Navigation

The general navigation is changed in a way that that the user first finds the catalog and then selects what to do with it. In previous version the user started with selecting what to do and then selected catalog. With this change the user interface gets cleaner and easier to work with.

My Catalogs – the new dashboard

My Catalogs is the new dashboard showing the user all catalogs. It now has a search function. By clicking on the Catalog Name the user gets access to more details on the catalog, see Catalog Details below.
From My Catalogs the user has a quick access to the relevant actions for each catalog such as Upload catalog, Download catalog and View Validation report.

Work list

The layout of the work list is improved to give the user a better overview and easier access to the required actions. Here the user finds the catalogs that are ready for Publishing and the catalogs where validation failed and a correction is needed.

Catalog Details – gives the full picture

On catalog details page the user can see the history and the status of current and previous catalog versions. The user may as well upload a new catalog version directly from here.

Upload catalog and Supplemental files – in one single step

Catalog upload is done in one single step where the user as well may upload any updated Supplemental files, like pictures or attachments, at the same time. Catalog settings are filled with default values from last upload. For the user it is simply to browse for the files to upload. Done!

Validation report – more possibilities

In the validation report it is now possible to sort the errors by category or by product. This is useful when there are many products that do have the same error. It is as well possible to filter the report to view only Errors, Warnings or Both.
