Streamline Catalog Management with the Advanced Product Grid & Hierarchy View

Type: New | Feature: Governance Productivity Scalability | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Experience the most significant evolution of the Akeneo grid in a decade. We’ve redesigned the main product grid and the collaboration workflows one, to provide a faster, more flexible, and "Excel-like" interface that adapts to your specific business needs.

• Fully customizable workspace – Drag and drop, pin, reorder, and duplicate columns for different channels or locales to build your perfect execution dashboard.
• High-density data review – Display up to 100 rows per page (up from 25) to accelerate bulk actions and manual data validation.
• Flat display & hierarchy filters – View every record—from product models to individual variants—in a single flat list with dedicated filters for precise task management.
• One-click hierarchy visualization – Access a complete tree view (Product Model → Sub-model → Variant) directly from the grid or your Collaboration Task List to see variant counters and axes.
• Inline boolean editing – Toggle activation flags and readiness indicators directly from the grid without opening individual product pages.
• Visual scanning – Spot data patterns instantly with color-coded Select and Yes/No attributes that mirror your attribute settings.

To complement the new grid experience, we’ve added several features to help you navigate and manage complex catalogs with zero friction.

• Integrated search in hierarchy – Quickly find specific entities within a complex product tree using a built-in search bar in the hierarchy view.
• Expanded row capacity – Minimize pagination and keep your focus on the data with a 4x increase in visible records.
• Granular task context – In Collaboration Workflows, hover over any task to see the parent-child relationship, ensuring no SKU is overlooked during seasonal updates.

These updates transform how you interact with your data, moving from manual clicking to streamlined, automated oversight.

Supercharge Your PIM with AI-Driven Customization

Take full control of your product experience with the latest evolutions of the Akeneo Extension Framework. We are bridging the gap between complex business needs and live production by introducing high-visibility UI placements and AI-powered development tools that turn ideas into components in record time.

• Strategic Header Placements – Insert high-priority notifications, status alerts, or custom actions directly into the central header of Product, Product Model, and Variant pages for maximum visibility.
• AI-Guided Development – Leverage the new Claude Code Plugin and /akeneo-cc-setup skill to bootstrap entire projects—from TypeScript setup to deployment—using simple natural language prompts.
• Seamless Data Integration – Connect your custom components to static data, custom variables, or external API sources to bring third-party insights directly into the PIM UI.
• Granular Visibility & Governance – Maintain strict control by filtering component visibility based on specific product selections or user roles.

We’re taking accessibility to the next level. Stay tuned for the upcoming Extension Platform, our native hosting-as-a-service solution designed to simplify your infrastructure.

Maximize Daily Efficiency with New Productivity Boosts

Type: New Improvement | Feature: Governance Productivity Automation | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Eliminate manual friction and speed up your daily workflows with these latest enhancements. From automated naming conventions to smarter organizational tools, we’re making it easier for your team to maintain a clean, structured catalog without the repetitive heavy lifting.

• Automated Naming & Coding – Automatically generate standardized codes for categories and products using templates that combine text, parent attributes, and auto-incrementing sequences.
• Intelligent Hierarchy Linking – Automatically pull parent product model codes into variant identifiers, ensuring your product relationships are clear and consistent across the entire PIM.
• Customizable ID Ranges – Use "max digits" on auto-numbers to cap sequence lengths, giving you precise control over numbering ranges for different brands or product lines.

The Rules Engine Next Gen has arrived for Reference Entities. Automate the enrichment of shared data—like Brands, Materials, or Care Instructions—the millisecond a record is saved, ensuring your common assets are always market-ready. We do offer the same logic as for Product Rules:

• Instant Execution – Move from scheduled batches to "Triggered Mode" for immediate data updates the moment a record is saved.
• Dynamic Content Formatting – Use Twig templates to automatically concatenate attributes into polished descriptions (e.g., Brand + Origin + Year).
• Simplified Logic – Use "OR" conditions to group multiple scenarios into a single rule, keeping your governance clean and easy to manage.

We’ve also optimized our Reference Entity API to help developers build faster, more efficient integrations. These updates reduce technical overhead and provide more granular control over how external apps interact with your PIM data.

• Bulk Fetching – Retrieve records across all reference entities in a single call, drastically reducing API requests.
• Value-Based Filtering – Query records by specific attribute values (like "Brand Name") rather than just technical codes or dates.

Last, but definitely not least, you can now streamline your most complex data operations with the new Combined Export and Import for Products & product Models. You can now manage your entire product hierarchy—from root models to variant products—within a single file, preserving relationships and saving hours of coordination. This capability is only available for Advanced and Premium customers.

• Single-File Hierarchy – Export and import models, sub-models, and variants together without switching between multiple files.
• Hierarchy-Aware Processing – Files follow a logical "parent-to-child" order to ensure data integrity and correct creation during imports.
• Draft Code Support – Use temporary placeholders for new models; Akeneo will automatically replace them with generated codes upon import.

Talking about exports… Quick Exports now respect your Product Grid column order, eliminating the need for manual re-ordering in Excel.
