Product Hub Page

An introduction & Overview of the components and actions in the Product Hub screen in Gamma, the Creative Force web app.

Product Records are the bridge between your product catalogue, their related Product Requests, and all assets and data related to their individual productions. The Product Hub Page in Gamma is your central resource for viewing, interacting, maintaining, & actioning those Product Records.


Introduction

Product Hub is the fundamental base layer in Creative Force that features a true product record: a persistent, centralized entry for every product in your catalogue. It serves as the data intelligence layer that connects your product data to your creative operations, enabling more intelligent production and more centralized data.

Screen Layout

For the purpose of introducing and covering the different elements on the Product Hub page, we will break them down into four different groupings. In the Map below, each grouping is indicated by a color, and in the table, we'll describe each.

To go directly to a more in-depth explanation of the section and what's available, use the 'Learn more' link in its corresponding section of the table.

Section Name

Description

Filter & Display

Contains display and filter settings for the Product List.

Product List

All matching results to your currently applied filters, with visible values relevant to column selections applied.

Slide-Out Menu

An information/action hub specific to your currently selected item from the Product List.

Create Product

An action button that allows you to create a new Product Record and add it to your catalogue.

Action Button

A multi-use button that can apply specific actions to your currently selected Products in bulk.

Filter & Display

The top-left section of the UI controls aspects of how the page appears, as well as which Product Records appear in the product list.

Section Name

Description

View List

Select between any saved views, views that have been shared with you, or the default view.

View Action

Apply actions to the currently selected View, such as Save or Discard any changes.

Applied Filter

Shows all groupings of currently applied filters. Hover and select 'x' to remove an applied filter.

Filter Menu

The filter icon can be selected to browse and then apply filters related to various properties. Multiple properties can be applied at once for very specific searches.

Search Bar

Use the Freetext Search box to type in specific values and search for matching results.

Display Settings

Select the Display Settings Icon to control the thumbnail size for Display Images.

Column Settings

Change the order of columns and enable or disable columns for specific properties in the Product List.

Fillter

The filter icon can be selected to browse and then apply filters related to various properties. Multiple properties can be applied at once for very specific searches. You can also use conditional filters to further enhance the specificity of your search.

When browsing properties, a list of values for that property will be shown for easy selection– this list only shows a set number of values before it stops. Begin typing to narrow down the list of suggestions.

Some property filters also allow the application of conditional language to the search. eg, 'contains' or 'does not contain' "X."

For properties like Product Code, you can also select an option to paste a list of values from a CSV. This allows you to easily apply large value sets to your search.

Search

Use the Freetext Search box to type in specific values and search for matching results. For more information on Freetext Search logic, see our article here.

Display

Display settings allow you to control the appearance of the Product Hub. From column display settings that control which data is relevant, to creating and loading saved combinations of filters via Views.

Thumbnail Size

Select the Display Settings Icon to control the thumbnail size for Display Images. This will also change and scale the columns that appear around the thumbnail.

Column Display

The column display settings allow you to turn on, turn off, or reorder columns that appear around the Item List. This allows you to better control the data you would like to review at a glance.

Views

Views allow you to save a specific combination of filters and column display settings so you can quickly return to a tailored table configuration whenever you need it. Rather than reapplying filters each time you visit a page, a saved View preserves your setup and makes it instantly accessible from the Views panel.

For a full list of configurations saved when a view is created, expand the list below.

View List

  • Filters: the full filter combination you've applied (all active filter fields/conditions/values)

  • Column Settings: which columns are visible and their arrangement

  • Custom Display Settings: view-specific display preferences, e.g., the table

  • Thumbnail Size: the size of the Display Image column via Display Settings

  • View metadata: the view's name, section it's grouped under, its sort order in the dropdown, and its sharing scope (Personal / Role / Global)

Product List

The Product List is the core working area of the Product Hub screen– the grid where your Product Records come to life. Each row represents a single product, and each column surfaces a specific attribute or piece of data about it. Together, rows and columns form a living matrix: the columns you choose and the filters you apply determine exactly which products appear and what information is shown about them.

Component

Description

Column

A column of data associated with a property. Columns can be turned on and off and reordered in the Column Display Settings.

Row

A single Product Record is represented as a row. Manually select the row with your mouse by clicking anywhere in the green area to bring up the Slide-Out Menu.

Selection Grid

Besides manual mouse selection of a row, you can use selection options to apply actions from the Action Button.

Select Column

The "Select All" option. Check the box to multi-select all currently listed Product Requests.

Select Row

The "Select One" option. Check the box to select just a single row. Select multiple individual rows to stack.

Selections

Beyond simply displaying information, the Product List is where users interact with their products directly. From here you can select a single product or multi-select many at once, open a product's slide-in panel to view and edit its details, and initiate actions on one or a group of products.

Actions can be applied to Product Records in multiple ways– depending on what records you want to select and the specific action you want to apply.

  • Use the selection grid to bulk select all the listed items and use the action button to apply an action from the menu to everything at once.

    ⚠️ By default, only the first 30 items on a page will be selected. Use the "Select all XY items..." option that appears to select all.

  • Use the selection grid at the row level to multi-select multiple records, then use the action button to apply an action to multiple selections at once.

  • Dont use the selection grid, and right-click a row to bring up the selection menu, which will apply an action to just that one selected product record.

Actions

The Actions button towards the top right of the page allows you to apply the same functions to many Product records at once, or to just one item. After having made a bulk, multi, or single selection through one of the processes above, click 'Action' to view the menu of available actions to be applied.

Slide-Out Menu

The Slide-Out Menu is the single-product detail panel in Product Hub. It opens from the right edge of the screen when you select a product in the Product List, and stays anchored there so the list remains visible behind it. While the Product List shows many products at once, the Slide-Out Menu focuses on one in greater detail.

Menu Tabs

The panel is organized into tabs: Overview, Production, Outfits, Assets, Properties, and Variants– which group details, production activity, media, attributes, & etc.

Tab

Description

Overview Tab

The Overview tab is the default view when the panel opens. It shows the product's core identifying details, such as product name and display image– giving you a quick snapshot of which product you're looking at.

Production Tab

The Production tab surfaces the product's production activity: the Product Requests and Jobs tied to it. Use it to see where the product sits in the production process without leaving the panel.

Outfits Tab

The Outfits tab shows every outfit across all product requests. Within each product, outfits are split into As Primary and As Secondary (each collapsible, with a count), and you can toggle between grid and list views. Use it to review a style's full outfit coverage in one place, without opening each product request.

Assets Tab

The Assets tab shows the media associated with the product record. It's where you review the images and files linked to that product, or download them directly to your hard drive.

Variants Tab

The Variants tab lists the product's variants and lets you add new ones. Each variant has its own detail view so you can manage individual variations under the parent product.

Properties Tab

The Properties tab lists the product's attributes, its custom properties, and data fields. This is where you review the descriptive values that define the product.

Metrics Tab

The Metrics tab is a sales-and-stock dashboard for visualizing data about a product record. Studios that have connected data via the Product Hub API's metrics ingest can see at a glance trends in how a product is performing.

Product Detail Page

In addition to the slide-out menu, an expanded overview menu can be accessed by selecting 'View' at the top of the slide-out.

3-Dot Menu

From the 3-dot menu on the Slide-Out Menu, you can initiate certain actions specific to the Product Record directly. These options are the same as outlined in the Actions section we covered earlier in this article.

Create New

New Product Records can be created via a special action button, which brings up a menu with various methods of creation.

Method

Description

Import From File

Create new Product Records by uploading a file. CSV, Excel, and JSON are supported file formats.

Paste From Spreadsheet

Paste product data directly from a spreadsheet. Supports copying from Excel or Google Sheets.

Manual Creation
