fmProducts - Filters.
Store Manager gives you the ability to filter and sort data in a more useful order (product lists). Please find the following buttons and fields at the end of osCommerce Products Tool-bar:
Also you can use any of the column headings to filter items basing on any parameter.
The following topics are covered:
Let's check all filter options one by one:
You can order your data using column headings in ascending or descending order as well as based on multiple column values.
Once any filter is applied, you can customize it according to your needs. Use Customize... button and you'll see Filter builder form that allows you to add new conditions and modify the current ones.
Also you can save your filters using Save as option or open any filter that was previously saved into file.
You can combine sorting and filtering options to see osCommerce products that meet very specific parameters.
Group by box option shows you a box on top that says "Drag a column header here to group by that column".
Whenever you drag any column header and drop it there (Status grouping is shown below). OsCommerce products will be grouped by this parameter, where condition appears as folders (marked in blue) and osCommerce products are listed after expanding any folder.
There's also a possibility to build a "category tree" using this filter type. Let's say you want to group all your osCommerce products by Status (In Stock or Our of Stock or enabled) and each Status by different Model. Simply drag Model header into the grey field and drop it behind Disabled field icon. Check an example below.
When you drag column header back it will be placed between the columns where you drop it.
Filter drop-down allows you to filter osCommerce products by category selected in the left pane (Category tree) or to show all products at once:
