Important: If Catalog Groups & Filters are new to you, we recommend checking out this how-to article before diving into the recommended views below.
View 1: By missing content or product status
Why this view? If you need to see which products need content generated OR exported/published, these views are for you.
Follow these guidelines to set up a view for products in need of content:

- Filters: Add a filter for the content field's column and change it to "is empty". This will show you products that do not have that field (either through import or generated by Describely).
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like (for example, "Title: A-Z" or "SKU: A-Z").
- If you're following a "first in, first out" approach, you can sort by the Last Updated column in descending order to see your oldest products first.
Once your view has been saved, you can easily generate content for these products!
Follow these guidelines to create a view for products ready to publish:
- Filters: Add a filter for the Status column and select the "Approved" status.
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like (for example, "Title: A-Z" or "SKU: A-Z").
Once you save your view, you're ready to seamlessly export/publish new content to your store!
View 2: By product type or category
Why this view? If you're a retailer or agency who sells products across multiple categories, a product type view will make your work a breeze.
In the example below, you'll see a view for the "chairs" category.
Here's how to set up a product type/category view:
- Filters: Add a filter for the Type column and enter the category you'd like to view.
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like (for example, "Title: A-Z" or "SKU: A-Z").
Set up as many filters as needed. Then generate content using unique Content Rulesets to meet each's requirements.
View 3: By vendor, supplier, or brand
Why this view? Do you manage products from multiple vendors, suppliers, or brands? This view will help you fill in gaps in their product data and generate unique content for different brands.
If you're an agency, use this view to easily manage product content for multiple clients.
In the example below, you'll see views for the furniture brand "Threshold".
- Filters: Add a filter for the Vendor column and select the vendor, supplier, or brand you'd like to view.
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like that works best for the task you're working on.
Tip: If you have limited product data, create a view for each supplier to pull in additional information with data enrichment.
Use this view with Content Rulesets to generate on-brand content for multiple brands.
View 4: By team member
Why this view? This view is specifically for larger teams with multiple users managing content in Describely.
In the example below, my team member is "Kyle".
- Filters: Add a filter for the Assigned column, and select the email of the user you'd like to save the view under.
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like that works best for the task each team member is tackling in Describely.
View 5: By data enrichment status
Why this view? If you have products with sparse product details, this view is for you!
Here's how to set up a view for products needing enrichment:
- Filters: Add a filter for the Enrichment column and select "Recommended".
- Sorting: Sort any way you'd like (for example, "Title: A-Z" or "SKU: A-Z"). If you have multiple vendors, sort by "Vendor: A-Z" so you can enrich each vendor's products in batches.
