You are viewing documentation for Amazon Sales Channel 2.x / 3.x.
Refer to Amazon Sales Channel 4.0+ for updated documentation.
After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Workspace Controls

The documentation available here is intended for historical reference only and is not maintained. The Adobe Commerce Merchant Documentation for current releases is published on the Adobe Experience League.

Amazon Sales Channel Home have some common workspace controls including Filters, Default View, Columns, and Export. Not all pages will have the same control options.

Amazon Sales Channel Workspace Controls Examples

Actions

The Actions drop-down option displays a list of actions that are available to a user for a screen. When selected, the action is applied to all selected items. To apply an action to a specific item, mark the checkbox in the first column of each item and choose an option in the Actions drop-down.

For example, the Actions drop-down on the Attributes screen includes the “Re-import Product Attribute Values” action. Choosing this action will ping the corresponding Amazon Seller Central account and refresh the Magento data for each of the Amazon store items checked in the left-side column.

Actions Drop Down Example

Filters

The Filters control displays options for narrowing the data displayed in the table. Filter options are based on the columns selected in the Columns control. Filter options only display for columns enabled in the Columns control.

Filters controls can include dynamic calendars to narrow data for specified dates, drop-down menus for columns that have pre-defined selections, and free-text fields that may contain custom data.

The example below shows the settings for filtering the list of orders to display only orders that meet the following criteria:

  • Orders placed between 2/01/2019 and 2/07/2019, and
  • Orders with a buyer named of “Smith”, and
  • Orders with a status of “Shipped.”

When you have your filtering options set, click Apply Filters to filter the data listed. Click Cancel to exit the Filters control without applying.

Filters Control Example

Once you’ve applied filters to your data, Active Filters information will display. You can click the icon to clear a specific filter option or click Clear All to clear all applied filters.

Active Filters Example

View

The View control is based on the default columns for page, thus it is named the Default View. You can add or remove available columns using the Columns control. When you customize your columns, you can then save the view as a custom view in the View control.

When you have your columns added or removed from the page display:

  1. Click Default View and choose Save View As….

  2. Enter a name for view.

  3. Click the arrow icon to save the custom view.

View Control Example

In this example, we added the Order Id column in the Column control and then saved it as a custom view. Notice that after we saved our custom view name, the name of the View changed from Default View to the name we entered.

You can toggle between the views by selecting the desired view in the View drop-down menu.

If you want to delete or change the name of your custom view, click the pencil icon. You can then enter a different name, or you can click the trash can icon to delete the custom view. The Default View cannot be deleted.

Columns

The Columns control allows you to add or remove columns of data from the page display. Each Amazon Sales Channel page has a preset combination of data columns, but most pages have additional columns available. If no additional columns are available, you can still remove default columns from display.

The example below shows a Columns control. The checked options correspond to the column headers that are displayed on the page.

  • To add a data column to your page, check the checkbox.
  • To remove a data column from your page, uncheck the checkbox.

Columns Control Example

Checkbox changes display immediately. If you make changes and exit the page, the page returns to the default column display. For changes you make regularly, you can save the columns changes as a custom view in the View control. Then you can toggle in the View control without having to add or remove columns manually.

You can click Reset to set the options back to default settings, or you can click Cancel to exit without your changes.

Export

The Export option allows you to export the displayed data to a data file than can be imported to a third-party software or separate database. Data exported is limited to the data displayed. You’ll want to make sure you add or remove columns if needed prior to using the Export control.

When ready to export your data, select an export format option and click Export.

  • CSV - a comma-separated value file containing plain text data
  • Excel XML - an XML-based, spreadsheet data format (typically used for Excel users)

The generated data file saves automatically to your designated folder for downloads.
