Finding your Products
Once you have created a product, you will be able to find and search for products in the GemHub from the main products section.
Product Views
There are two views available for your products in the products section, there are “Thumbnail View’ which will show you a larger image of the product, and “Table View” which will give you a tabular view of your products along with all of your product and custom attribute information. You can switch between these views by using the buttons below:
Product Search
You can search for your products by SKU code by using the search box in the top left-hand side of the Products section. As you start to type products that contain the text you enter in the SKU code will be returned.
Product Filters
You can filter the product results that are shown in the Products section by using the filter button. This button will allow you to be able to return products that fit your search criteria. Click on the filter icon shown below:
This button will then open up a pop-up panel on the right-hand side of the screen that will allow you to be able to select the filters that you want to apply to your products. You can use this form to search by any of the general product information as well as any custom attributes that you have created.
Multiple filters can be used to return just those products that meet your search criteria such as all products within a certain price range, containing specific text in the description and any values in custom product attributes you have created.
As you apply filters to the products they will be added to the top of the page so that you can see what filters have been applied to your products. You can then click the “X” button to remove the individual filters or click “Clear Filters” to remove select or all filters as required as per the example below:
Filtering Your Products by Media
We know that many of our customers choose to create or import products into GemHub as part of their internal process and then update the media for those products. To assist in this process you have the ability to find those products with media or without media so that you can quickly identify which products need to be photographed using your GemLightbox.
To find products that do not have media, follow the process below:
- Click on the filter button
- In the “Media’ section click on the drop-down button
- Select if you would like to see “All”, “With Media” or “Without Media”
- Click “Apply” and the product list will be updated to show those products filtered by their Media status.
Importing Products
To import your products file into the GemHub dashboard, follow the steps below
Get a Sample File
You can download and view a sample product file to use as a template by clicking here.
Product File Format
The first line of your product file must not contain any column headers or titles, the file should start directly with the product details.
The lines or records in the file must contain data for your product using the same columns in that same exact order starting with: SKU, Title, Description, Price, Product Type, Quantity. If you have additional columns with product details, make sure they come after the initial 6 mandatory columns and you can create custom attributes for the additional columns during the import process.
SKU is the only mandatory field; not providing other columns with attribute titles during the import process will result in those fields being empty.
The existing product types are: Bracelet, Brooch, Diamonds, Earrings, Gemstone, Necklace, Rings, Watch. Product types are case sensitive and must be written the same exact way to be imported. If your file contains product types which are not one of the eight pre-existing product types, the products will not be imported.
Please note that a product's title in the import file cannot exceed 100 characters; space between words counts as a character.
