Creating a new column layout or modifying an existing one is easy. Simply select the desired columns from the available list and rearrange them using the drag-and-drop feature. You can also enable sorting for a specific column. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have large product catalogs, as it allows for efficient organization and management of product data. By displaying only the most relevant information, you can save time and increase productivity while providing a personalized user experience.

You can manage roles and policies if you have the System Admin, PIM Write, PIM Read, or PIM Admin role. Please contact your system administrator to request access.
