View Settings

Set the colour thresholds for profit, ROI and margin, choose which price history is used in tables and charts, and control how blacklisted products appear.

Written by Alexander Czech

You can enter the view settings here: https://dash.profitpath.com/settings/business-rules/view

The View tab controls how numbers and products are displayed to you — it doesn't change which deals ProfitPath finds. Everything here is a display and default-value setting: colour thresholds for profit badges, which price history is used in tables and charts, and whether blacklisted products show up in lists.

You'll find it alongside Marketplaces, Taxes, Fees and Reviewed in your settings.


1. Buying Criteria

Sets the Minimum and Target thresholds used to colour the profit, margin and ROI badges across ProfitPath, ProfitGo and ProfitDesk.

This is a display setting, not a filter. Buying Criteria only decide what colour a number is shown in — they don't remove deals from your results, change any calculation, or affect which products a search returns. To actually exclude deals, use the filters in Supplier Search, Multi Search or your alerts.

For each one you set two values — a Minimum (your floor) and a Target (what you're aiming for). Together they produce three colour states:

Value

Badge colour

Meaning

Below Minimum

🔴 Red

Doesn't meet your floor

Minimum to Target

🟡 Yellow

Acceptable, but not what you're after

At or above Target

🟢 Green

Meets your target

That's the whole point of the section: you scan a table for green instead of reading every number.

The Live Preview column next to each row shows one example badge in each of the three states, so you can see the effect of your thresholds before saving.

Hide non-profitable marketplaces

Only for Pro, Premium and Ultimate users available:

By default, marketplaces that don't match your filters are greyed out but still visible in Sourcing tables. Turn this toggle on to hide them completely instead.

Leaving it off is usually the better choice: a marketplace that's slightly short today can flip positive after a price change or a lower buying price, and you'll only notice it if you can see it.

Grey level

Controls how strongly non-profitable marketplaces are greyed out, from 0 % (shown normally, no dimming) up to full dimming.

Turn it down if you want to keep reading the numbers on weaker marketplaces; turn it up if you want your eye pulled straight to the profitable rows.


2. Price History

Defines which time range and price basis are used in tables and charts.

These are default values only — you can override them individually per table without coming back to settings. Set them to whatever you use most often and treat per-table changes as the exception.



3. Table Display

Show Blacklisted Products


Decides whether products you've blacklisted still appear in your lists:

  • Yes — they stay in the table but are shown blurred, so you can see that a hit exists.

  • No — they're hidden completely.

Choose Yes if you review your blacklist regularly or want to avoid wondering why a known product never shows up. Choose No for the cleanest possible list.


Practical tips

  • Set thresholds to your real buying rules, not to aspirations. If every badge is green, the colours stop telling you anything.

  • Missing marketplaces in a Sourcing table? Check the Hide non-profitable marketplaces toggle here before assuming something is broken.

  • Remember: three Save buttons. Save each section you change.
