Adding assets to the workbench does not add them to a project. Assets in the workbench are added to a project only when they are changed, for example, if they are successfully updated as part of a Multi Edit operation. Assets remain in the workbench when you log out of the Business Control Center or your session expires.
Note: To learn how to add assets to the workbench in Layout view, see Working with Visual Merchandising.
To add assets to the workbench:
In the Find or Browse panel, select the assets you want to edit. See Using the Navigation Pane for details. When you add assets to the workbench, child assets are not automatically selected.
Click the Actions button in the toolbar and select Add to Workbench.
Alternately, you can drag the selected assets to the workbench. For more information, see Tips for Dragging Assets to the Workbench and Using Drag and Drop in Merchandising.
The workbench expands and displays one or more tiles. Each tile represents one or more assets. By default, if you selected different types of assets, Merchandising automatically groups them by type. For example, if you drag both products and SKUs to the workbench, two tiles appear; one contains the products and one contains the SKUs.
Note: Your administrator may have configured Merchandising so that each asset you add to the workbench appears as a separate tile by default.
Each tile shows the number and type of assets it represents.
If a new tile represents a group of assets, enter a descriptive name for the tile. This name simply helps you keep track of assets in the workbench; it does not become a property of any of the assets in the group. If you do not enter names for tiles, Merchandising automatically names them Untitled 1, Untitled 2, and so on.
To remove a tile from the workbench, move the mouse pointer over the tile until an X appears in its upper-right corner. Click the X.
