Product Cockpit product-cockpit
Overview overview
The Product Cockpit provides a unified overview of linked product catalogs and associated content. All associated content has links to quickly access it from the cockpit.
Staged product data includes any mutation in the future such as new categories, products, or updated properties.
Configuration configuration
Product catalogs must be configured in AEM. See configuring store and catalogs for more information.
Enabling staged catalog features require authentication. See Getting Started for more information.
Opening the Product Cockpit opening-product-cockpit
The easiest way to access the Product Cockpit is via the ‘Commerce’ menu in AEM’s main menu. It is also possible to use Omnisearch (search for Commerce) or opening https://<yourAEMInstance>/commerce.html.
Browsing Product Catalogs browsing-product-catalogs
The Product Cockpit is organized in a hierarchical way following the product catalog structure. The first level shows the catalog root level of all configured product catalogs including meta information of the commerce backend.
Clicking a category loads the children of the clicked category.
Clicking a product loads product variations if available.
Searching Product Catalogs searching-product-catalog
A full-text search over the full product catalog is provided in the left filter tab to quickly find products.
Browsing Staged Product Catalog staged-product-catalogs
By default, the product cockpit shows live product catalog data. Using the “STAGED CATALOG” in the left filter tab loads the product catalog for any selected date.
Product Catalog Properties catalog-properties
Clicking the properties icon of a product or category opens the property view of the selected object. Open properties of a product variant are equal to open the main product properties.
Commerce Tabs tabs
The general and variant tabs show pre-defined commerce properties that come from the commerce backend. This data (incl. variants) is read-only data in AEM as the system of record is the commerce backend. The variant tab only appears for products with variants and shows a list of all variants.
AEM Content Tabs content-tabs
These tabs, grouped by AEM content types (Experience Fragments, Content Fragments, Associated Assets), show AEM content that is associated with the commerce object. The action ‘View Details’ opens a new browser tab with the selected content.
