In Prduct you can create checks to ensure that specific attributes are verified or reviewed. Checks can be used across document types – for example products, batches, packaging, etc.
This is especially useful when multiple people are working with data, and you need to control what has been verified – and what still needs review.
How to create a Check?
Go to "Data" in the menu.
Select "Data Models".
Scroll down to the section Checks (at the bottom of the page).
Click "Create Attribute Check".
When the popup opens, you need to fill in:
Field | Description |
Name | Internal name – only used for internal identification of the check |
Document type | Select which document type this check applies to (e.g. Product, Batch, Packaging etc.) |
Attribute | Choose which attribute the check should be performed on |
Label | The text that the user will see when performing the check (e.g. “Verify Common Name” or “Check that weight has no decimals”) |
Tip: The Name is only used internally – the Label is what users will see.
How to work with Checks when created?
Once a check is created you can do the following:
In the list view for the document type (e.g. Product list), you can now filter on checks that are completed or not completed. You can filter on a specific Check if you have several.
On an individual document (e.g. a product), you can also see on the specific attribute whether the check has been completed or not.
Note: There must be data on the attribute before the check can be performed – and before you can filter on it.
What are Checks used for?
Checks allow you to:
quality assure data (you can do specific checks for attributes you send to your supplier for fulfillment).
keep track of verified attributes
work in a structured way when multiple people are creating and maintaining data
ensure that critical fields are reviewed before being used in further processes
