For each product you can specify a range of data fields and configuration options.

Name:

Full name of the product.

Description:

Full description of the product.

Primary Category:
Select the category you want the product to appear in. If the category contains a subcategory or subcategories, you need to select a subcategory. This will place the product into that specific product category. When you browse the product catalogue you will be browsing the product category hierarchy.

Images:

Upload a good quality image of your product. You can upload multiple images if you want to show different angles.

Price:

The price of your product excluding taxes. Tax amounts will be calculated and automatically added.

Applied Taxes:

These are the taxes you want to apply to the price of your product.

Stock on Hand:

Use this field to store the number of items that are currently available and ready to sell to customers. This value will be displayed in the app. You can also bulk update your stock levels using a CSV upload or you can sync stock numbers from your ERP / accounting system via an integration. The value in the Stock on Hand field can also be configured to automatically decrease as orders are sent out.

Product Code / Barcode / SKU:

There are several other fields where you can store things like a Product Code or Barcode or SKU. Everyone uses different combinations of codes to track their products. You can use all three or none, it is up to you.

Active:

When products are set to ‘Active’ they are visible and displayed in your catalogue. Mark an item as inactive if you do not want it to appear in your catalogue. This would be useful if the item is out of stock or no longer available for sale.

Featured:

A product marked as ‘Featured’ will be given a more prominent display in your catalogue.

Custom Fields:

On this tab you can add extra fields for showing additional information for each product.

Specs:

Use this tab to specify physical or functional characteristics that define the product. Product Specs are currently not shown in the Onsight app. These fields can currently only be displayed in the PDF catalogues that we generate for clients. See this article on How to add product specs .

Availability, Price List, Discounts

These three tabs allow you to choose the availability of a product and to add an overriding price or discount. With this feature you can assign different pricing to different customers. See this article on How to set up per-customer pricing .

Associated :

Associated products are complementary products to the product that you are working with. Use this tab to indicate these complementary products.

Alternative :

Alternative products are replacement products for the product that you are working with. Use this tab to indicate these replacement products.

Icons:

Product icons are small images that you can show next to a product to allow your sales reps to quickly see some characteristics of the product. Use this tab to link icons to the product that you are working with. To create new icons to use in the app read this guide.

Here are some examples of types of icons that you can load.

  • Icons showing different country flags so that you can show where your packs are sourced from
  • Icons showing different price grades (eg. Economy, Standard, Expensive)
  • Icons showing composition (eg. Metal, Wood, Plastic, etc. )
