3. Attribute columns settings
This setting allows to add
different attribute columns to the
grid for different admin users. It
is very convenient if you have
several product admins – each of
them can add the column which
are necessary for him or her.
When this option is set to
‘Yes’, you can edit product
attributes right on the
product grid.

4. Column display settings
You can enable editing of stock
availability on the product grid.
You can also enable display
of product thumbnail, cost,
special price and its from/to
dates.
In case you don’t need some
of the default columns on
your grid, just list them
here: Type (code ‘type’),
Attribute Set Name (code
‘set name’), Status (code
‘status’) and Websites (code
‘websites’).

5. Category filter and removal of columns
It is possible to show
product categories on the
grid and enable category
filter. Please be aware that
enabled category filter
increases server load.
You can also remove some
columns from the product grid:
Type (code ‘type’), Attribute Set
Name (code ‘set_name’), Status
(code ‘status’) and Websites (code
‘websites’).

7. Quantity based availability
When ‘Quantity Based Availability’
option is set to ‘Yes’, availability
will automatically change to 'In
stock' when quantity is positive and
to 'Out of stock’ when quantity is
zero or negative. Please set to ‘No’ if
you prefer to indicate availability
status manually.

At the moment single cell editing is
enabled. To edit some information
(e.g. price) just click on the field
you would like to edit. After you’ve
entered the necessary info, please
click any spot outside the field for
the data to get saved.

9. Edit products right on the product grid
After you’ve entered the necessary info,
please click ‘Save’ button and all the
modified data will be saved. Multiple
cell editing is more convenient when you
edit larger volumes of information.
Now multiple cell editing is
enabled. To edit some information

fields you would like to edit.
