Based on our clients' feedback, we've made several Express List improvements to further speed up listing!
  • Express List can be started from more locations for rapid access
  • Category selection is faster through recent searches, type-to-search, and tree-based navigation
  • Editing errors takes less time; users can correct the category without losing work when the template is shared
  • Highly requested "No Combine Shipping" and "Featured Item" options have been added to the Inventory Details drawer
  • Express List can be started without a draft product
  • Ability to "Save, list & print" has been added
  • Static Templates have been moved to a more accessible location

Category select enhancements
  • The category select box now displays the most recent category searches, for faster repeat selection
  • The category select box also supports type-to-search to find categories by entering text
  • An expandable category tree replaces the previous experience where users saw all categories nested in a navigation bar. Users can click to drill down into category levels progressively until the desired category is shown

Retain product attributes when changing categories (when applicable)
  • Express List now preserves entered product attributes when switching categories, under specific conditions
  • Previously, changing the category after entering attribute details would clear the entered values
  • Now, attribute values persist across category changes as long as the Builder template matches between the source and destination categories
Expected behavior:
  1. Enter attribute details
  2. Change the category
  3. If the new category uses the same Builder template, the previously entered details will remain populated
Inventory Details drawer options added
  • Express list now includes toggles for "Combined Shipping" and "Featured Item" from within the Inventory Details drawer on the right-side
