Redwood: Create and Manage Personalized Views in Product Management Search

In Product Management Search, views are grouped into two types-system views and personal views. System views are available in the application by default and are predefined. All users have access to the system views. You can create your own personal view by copying a system view and modifying the columns to suit your requirements. Personal views are associated with only the user who created it.

To open the Product Management Search page, click the Search Products task in the Product Information Management work area as shown in the following screenshot.

Tips And Considerations

  • If you've set a personal view as the default, then the Product Management Search page will open displaying this view. If no personal view has been set as the default, then the default system view will open when accessing the Product Management Search page.
  • You can control the display of columns in your personal view. This view maintains the settings from the system view based on which the personal view was created. 
  • Only the person who created the personal view can use the view. When necessary, the administrator can edit the personal view from the Configure View page. Additionally, the administrator can create system views on the page, and the user can use the system view to create their personal view.
