Redwood: Create and Edit Manufacturers Using an Updated User Interface

Use the updated Product Management Search: Manufacturer page to create manufacturers in a side panel that opens from the manufacturer search page. 

You can do the following:

  • Enter flexfield values directly from the Create panel.
  • Use separate editable sections for basic details, location, and attributes in the Edit page. 
  • Preview attachments in the Attachments side panel.
