2. Accessing products

Once you've logged into Pilario, you'll be directed to the main page, which by default displays the list of products defined in our system.

You can navigate to other sections (such as scenarios, sites, etc.) via the menu on the left-hand sidebar.


The list of products imported and/or created in the instance is accessible in the Product section.

Here's how to access and manage these products:

  1. Locate the Products section :

    In the left-hand menu, click on “Products” if you are not already in this section.
  2. View imported products :

    You'll see a list of all the products that have been imported or created in your instance.
  3. Search for a specific product :

    Use the search bar at the top of the list to quickly find a particular product. You can search by name, reference or any other relevant attribute.
  4. Filter products :

    Use the available filtering options to refine the list according to your needs. For example, you could filter by product category, import date, or status.

    See Product filters below for more details.

  2. Combine several filters  

 You can combine several filters:

  1. Add Rule: lets you add a simple filter
  2. Add group: lets you add a filter group (with logical AND or OR connectors)


Example:

  1. Filter set
  2. Simple product status filter
  3. Filter group using the AND connector between the creation date and the name of the user who created the product (here TEST)

4. Product status :

 All products in your instance, including imported ones, are classified according to 4 statuses:

  • NEW - created by import, never opened
  • DRAFT - modified by a user
  • TO VALIDATE - waiting to be validated by a “verifier” profile before being published
  • PUBLISHED - published (either by a classic profile if no verification is required, or by a verifier profile)

 

These statuses can be accessed directly from the product overview :

You can filter by product status. To do this, access the filters, then select the “Status” field and enter the desired status:

5. Modify product page columns

 You can still access and modify the columns displayed on the product interface by clicking on the three dots next to the column headings, then click on Manage Columns.

You can then choose the columns you wish to display:

6. Product validation

 Once all the data for a product has been carefully entered, the next step is to publish it.

However, it is important to note that in some cases, the term “publish” may be replaced by “validate”. This occurs when the product requires further verification by a specific user, referred to as a “verifier”. This validation process depends directly on the publication rules established by your company. 


To publish a product, or request validation, click on Actions > Publish, located in the top right-hand corner of the interface.

7. Product : Save as

 Once a product has been finalized, you can save it as one or more other products. This option, called “Save as”, allows you to quickly create variants or variations of the original product.

It's important to note that this feature may be subject to certain restrictions. Indeed, depending on the backup rules established by your company, the “Save as” option may be limited to products previously identified as similar to the original product.


To do this, click on Actions > Save As, located in the top right-hand corner of the interface.
