      Product Matching: How do I Create A Catalog & Select Baseline Products?

       

      A catalog is a curated collection of products you select, which represent items you want to match. These products are referred to as your baseline products. 

       

      To create a catalog for scratch select + New Catalog from the Product Matching homepage.

      Next, you need to select your baseline products. These are products that you’d like to find matches for. You will have two options to select from in the right-hand side panel:

      •  Click Select saved filter if you already have saved filters previously and you want to look at the same criteria again.
      • Click Create a filter. If you haven't previously saved filters OR you want to look at a new set of criteria.

      Using filters will narrow down your product list.

        Selecting Your Baseline Products

         

        Once you have filtered your data set, you can select the exact products that you’d like to find matches for. These are your baseline products.  To do this:

        • Use the Select button at the bottom of each product card. 
        • If you’ve filtered down your products to 250 or less, you can use the Select All.

        The Select all option is useful if you want to find matches for a full collection or category group.  You can select a maximum of 250 products per catalog.

         

        To deselect a product, click the Deselect button at the bottom of the product card.
