Working with products in the item view

The item view is where you add and update the product information the data recipient has requested from you. This guide walks you through each part of the product editor so you know exactly what to fill in and how to complete your submission.

Opening a product

From the Items list, click the product name or ID to open it.
At the top of the page, you will see:

  • The product name

  • The status, such as Requested, Update requested, or Approved

  • A Guidance box explaining what Bowens needs

  • Access to filters, comments, and actions

Guidance panel

When data recipient asks you to provide or update information, a blue Guidance panel appears at the top of the product.

This panel tells you:

  • Which fields require your attention

  • How to fill in missing details

  • Tips to ensure data accuracy

  • How to avoid follow up requests

You should always read the guidance before making updates, as data recipient may include notes specific to the product or category.

Required fields

Attributes that must be completed are marked with a red star.
Missing required fields will:

  • Be highlighted

  • Block you from saving or submitting

  • Appear in the validation message if you try to submit with missing data

Required fields may include:

  • Supplier product title

  • Product description

  • Brand

  • Website link

  • Dimensions (width, length, height)

  • Weight

  • Country of manufacture

Attribute groups

Product information is organised into logical groups to make data entry simple.
Examples include:

  • Core product details

  • Dimensions

  • Brand and marketing

  • Compliance

  • Packaging

  • Additional family specific attributes

Attribute types

Different fields use different input types depending on the information required:

  • Text fields – titles, descriptions

  • Dropdown lists – controlled values like Brand

  • Numbers – quantities, pack sizes

  • Measurements – width, height, weight (unit is already defined)

Fields are structured to help you enter the correct value without needing extra formatting.

Attribute filters

On the right side of the item view, you will find helpful filters that let you focus only on the fields you need:

  • Attribute type (mandatory, optional, or both)

  • Attribute status (filled, empty, or both)

  • Attribute group

These filters are especially useful when Bowens has requested only a small number of changes, so you don’t need to scroll through the entire form.

Saving your changes

As you enter data, use the Save button to update the product.

Saving does not submit the product to data recipient; it simply stores your progress.
You can return later to complete remaining fields.

Validation messages

If you try to save or submit a product with missing required fields, a validation message will appear at the top of the screen.

This message lists every field that still needs attention, for example:

  • Product Width is required

  • Product Weight is required

  • Brand is required

  • Supplier Website Link is required

You must fill in all required fields before you can submit.

Submitting a completed product

Once all requested fields are complete:

  1. Review your data

  2. Ensure no validation messages appear

  3. Click Submit (if data recipient has requested data from you)

The product status will update to Update submitted until data recipient reviews it.
