In the subpages of this sections we look at how to create a view with the data and fields to fit a specific need.
Advanced table fields refers to fields (attributes) shown in your view overview. It will not affect the product detail view when clicking an individual product.
Changing table fields by adding more fields, is only relevant if display mode is "Table (advanced)". Other optional display modes will only contain ID and name on overview.
When working with large amounts of products display mode "Table (advanced)" is recommended.
When creating a new view from scratch defaults field automatically added are:
ID - always present in views since it is the unique identifier of the product
Name - product name from the ERP-system
Click "Edit" to add additional fields. Under each set (group of attributes) the related attributes are listed. Use the arrow to the right to open/close the different sets. Click "Done" and "Save" on the View settings page to add your selection to your view.
Sidebar filters helps you filter on data that you still want in your view, but could benefit from sorting on content or empty/populated, when actively working with product data.
In any view a category hierarchy is always available as a sidebar filter.
Go to "View settings" and open the sidebar filter set. Click "Edit". Tick the attributes that should be sidebar filter options. Click "Done". Click "Save". The chosen attributes are now available as sitebar filters on this view only.
By pressing the "+" a quick-filters can be created that are not saved with the view.

The filter options for each filter depends on the datatype of the attribute. Here follows a few examples:
Set your filter/filters of choice. Note option to turn statement negativ by pressing the reverse symbol.
If a filter is activated, it will be visible in the blue line above the products. To remove filter click "x" either in the blue top line or above each filter in the sidebar.
