Redwood: Use the Enhanced Manufacturer User Interface

This Redwood feature enhances manufacturer functionality with the following updates:

  • New tabs in the New Manufacturer drawer panel: Company Profile Attributes, Location, and Additional Attributes.
  • Removed section-level edits in the Edit Manufacturer page, allowing all edits to be saved at once.
  • New image attachment category for manufacturer objects to organize image files.

New tabs introduced on New Manufacturer side panel

The New Manufacturer side panel has been re-designed to support three tabs: Company Profile Attributes, Location and Additional Attributes.

NOTE: Only mandatory Extensible Flexfields are displayed in the Additional Attributes tab. This tab is hidden if there are no mandatory extensible flexfields. The Company Profile Attributes and the Country attribute within Location can be auto-populated using AI Assist feature as was the case in the previous release.

Create Manufacturer with Company Profile Attributes, Location and Additional Attributes tabs.

Section-level edits are not available when editing a manufacturer

You can no longer edit individual sections on the Edit Manufacturer page. Instead, make all your edits across sections and save them together, reducing the need for multiple saves.

  • Enhances usability with a streamlined multi-tab layout that simplifies data entry and improves visual clarity of manufacturer information.
  • Increases user efficiency by consolidating multiple section saves into a single, top-level save, speeding up the editing process.
  • Maintains focus by displaying only mandatory extensible flexfields when applicable.
  • Introduced support for image categories to organize manufacturer images.
