Categories/Products (Products Level)
Note: If you are looking for the Categories screen showing categories, please see this page.
If you are at a level where the Categories screen only shows products, you’ll see a table with a number of rows that will look something like this:
Status Icons
Under the Status column header, you’ll see an icon that is either red or green, with an optional yellow icon.
- Red means the product is disabled
- Green means the product is enabled
- Yellow means the product is linked
Action Icons
There are a set of action icons on the right.

These icons allow you to perform the following actions:
Button | Action |
---|---|
Pencil | edit a product - update all the fields for a product |
Trash Can | delete a product - remove a product from the catalog |
M | move a product - change the product’s parent category |
C | copy a product - duplicate the product or create a linked product |
A | use the attributes controller |
Dollar Sign | use the products price manager |
Asterisk | use the meta tags editor. |
Some of these icons change color depending on the product:
Button | Meaning |
---|---|

Product does not have attributes |
