The Product Groups section in the PUQ Cloud Panel is designed to organize and manage groups of products efficiently. This feature enables administrators to categorize products into groups, making it easier to manage and navigate through large inventories.

Key Features:

• Group List: Displays all product groups in a table format, including:
  • Key: A unique identifier for each product group, used for internal referencing and search functionality.
  • Visibility: Indicates whether a product group is visible or hidden. Visible groups are marked with a green check, while hidden groups are marked accordingly.
  • Products: Shows the number of products within each group, allowing administrators to assess group content at a glance.
  • Order: Allows administrators to adjust the position of product groups in the list using up and down arrows for reordering.
• Actions:
  • Edit Group: Modify the details of an existing product group, including its name, key, and visibility settings.
  • Delete Group: Permanently remove a product group from the system. This action requires confirmation to prevent accidental deletions.
• Search and Filter: A search bar at the top-right corner allows administrators to locate specific groups quickly. Filters can also be applied to refine the search results.

Technical Details:

• Key Usage: The key for each group is a unique string that acts as an identifier for API calls, database queries, and other internal processes. This ensures that groups are easily distinguishable and traceable within the system.
• Visibility Settings: Visibility controls determine whether a product group is accessible to end-users or remains hidden for internal purposes. This feature allows for better inventory management and phased rollouts of new product lines.
• Order Management: The ordering functionality ensures that groups can be arranged in a hierarchy that aligns with business priorities or user navigation preferences. The system automatically updates the order index after each adjustment.

Creating a New Product Group:

Administrators can add new product groups by clicking the Create button. During creation, the following fields must be defined:

• Key: Enter a unique identifier for the group.
• Name: Provide a descriptive name for the group.
• Visibility: Set the group as visible or hidden based on its intended use.

Usage:

The Product Groups section is essential for organizing and streamlining product management. By categorizing products into logical groups, administrators can improve navigation, enhance customer experience, and ensure efficient inventory management.

Product Group Editing

The Product Group Editing section in the PUQ Cloud Panel allows administrators to manage and customize product groups with ease. This section is divided into three key tabs:

General

The General tab provides administrators with tools to modify the overall settings of a product group. Here are its features:

• Key: A unique identifier for the product group, used for internal reference and search functionality.

This tab is crucial for organizing product groups and maintaining a well-structured catalog.
