- Accessing the image manager
- Printing product labels
You can also view and/or edit information such as, but not limited to, the following:

Learn all about the Product Details page in each interface by clicking the appropriate accordion below.
To access the Details page in Alpha:
- Go to Inventory > Input your search criteria > Search.
- Select the product.
Managing panels
On the right side of your page, you will see a list of collapsible panels. Panels keep you updated on the most recent product information by dividing that information into relevant categories. Panels also give you easy access to certain functions. For example, in the Kit Properties panel, you can click Manage Kit to manage the kit related to that product. You can view panels like:
To manage the panels:
- Click the Arrow icon to collapse a panel for easy viewing. Click the X icon to remove a panel from the main page.
Customizing panels
To begin customizing your panels:
- Go to Inventory > Input search criteria > Search.
- Select the product > Click Manage Panels.
- Check the panels you want to display on the main page.
- Optional: You can use the up or down arrows to rearrange the order of the panels on the main page.
- Click Save.
This is the page you come to after searching for your product on the Manage Catalog page or the Manage Inventory page. You can also view this page using the morphing search feature. You can switch which page view you want to see by clicking on either Inventory or Catalog at the top right corner.
Switching your page view also switches which functions you can do. From the Inventory page, you can manage inventory-level actions, such as product groups or kits. From the Catalog page, you can manage catalog-level actions, such as channel properties. Some functions on these pages overlap, such as:
- Adding a warning to a product
- Viewing the change log
- Changing shipping preferences
- Updating product groups
- Creating shadows
- Managing kits
These actions can be accessed from both the Inventory and Catalog page.
The Catalog side
This page gives you access to a number of catalog functions on the product-level. For example, you can:
To access the Catalog Product Details page:
- Go to Catalog > Manage Catalog > Search for your product > Select your product.
- Optional: Click Inventory to access the Inventory side.
The top of this page is filled with relevant tags. On this page, however, you can view information related to the catalog, such as channel-related settings, product status (Active / Inactive), etc. Click on a tag to be redirected to that page. Please note that not all tabs are clickable.
Colored panels provide you with organized, easily accessible information on this page too. You can view general information, like Company, or more catalog-related information, like Wholesale Price.

The Inventory side
- Go to Inventory > Manage Inventory > Search for your product > Select your product.
- Optional: Click Catalog to access the Inventory side.
Understanding product notes
One especially helpful feature of the Product Details page is product notes. Products notes let you keep track of your thoughts on the individual product level. Since product notes are written for an individual product, they are different from both order notes and product warnings.
To add a product note:
- Go to Inventory > Input your search criteria > Search > Select the product.
- Click Toolbox > Notes.
- Click Add New Note. A popup tab will appear.
- Select your Note Type.
- Optional: Check Include in PO to include this note in your purchase orders.
- Click Save.
To edit a product note:
- Go to Inventory > Input your search criteria > Search > Select the product.
- Click Toolbox > Notes > Click Edit.
- Enter your edits > Click Save.
To delete a product note:
- Go to Inventory > Input your search criteria > Search > Select the product.
- Click Toolbox > Notes > Click Delete.
To delete product notes in bulk:
Sellercloud’s Alpha interface allows you to delete product notes in bulk. To do this, you will need to download a template, update it with the information you want to keep and reupload it to Sellercloud.
- Go to Inventory > Import Product Info > Import Product Notes.
- Click Download template.
- Open your template and input relevant information. Make sure the column headers NoteID and _ACTION_ are available. In the _ACTION_ header, write _DELETE_ for the notes you want to delete. If you do not see them, contact Sellercloud Support to add them.
- Save your template.
- Go back to Import Product Notes > Click Choose File > Select your saved template > Click Import Notes.
To add a product note:
- Go to your Product Details page > Click Notes.
- Select the Note Type.
- Write your note > Click the Arrow icon, or click Enter on your keyboard to save the note.
