Configuring the Product Display Layout

Summary

Important Architecture Notice

This layout guide applies exclusively when your app is operating in Custom Objects Mode (the default path where Akeneo data is routed into custom tables such as Akeneo_Product_Asset__c or Akeneo_Product_Translation__c).

If your organization has activated Standard Mode for Categories, Translations, Variations, or Assets, you do not need to add these custom related lists. Instead, your synchronized data will natively appear within the standard Salesforce Commerce interfaces, tabs, and standard related lists (such as the native Product Categories, Product Media, or Variations components).

 

By default, when using Custom Objects Mode, Akeneo PIM data is securely stored in dedicated custom side tables. To make this data visible to your business users and catalog managers on the main product files, you must manually adjust your Salesforce Product2 page layouts to display the application's dedicated related lists.

Follow the sections below to configure visibility for each data type.

 

Product Assets Visibility 

To view your Akeneo Product Assets for each of your products, you'll need to adjust the Product2 object layout. 

This is important because it ensures that the product assets from Akeneo are visible for each record. To do this, just follow these simple steps:

  • Go to Setup and search for “Object Manager”
  • Click on "Product2" to open the object manager page
  • Click on "Page Layouts" and select the layout that you want to edit
  • Drag and drop the "Akeneo Product Assets" related list onto the layout
  • Adjust the columns to display Name, Asset Type, and Asset URL
  • Save the layout, and you should see the related list now.

Once you complete a transfer of Akeneo Product Assets, you will be able to access each product asset directly from your related lists. 

 

Product Translations Visibility 

To view your Akeneo Product Translations for each of your products, you'll need to adjust the Product2 object layout. 

This is important because it ensures that the product translations from Akeneo are visible for each record. To do this, just follow these simple steps:

  • Go to Setup and search for “Object Manager”
  • Click on "Product2" to open the object manager page
  • Click on "Page Layouts" and select the layout that you want to edit
  • Drag and drop the "Akeneo Product Translations" related list onto the layout
  • Adjust the columns to display Name, Language, Field API Name, Translation
  • Save the layout, and you should see the related list now.

Once you complete a transfer of Akeneo Product Translation, you will be able to access each product attribute with the related locale directly from your related lists. 

 

 

Product Models and Variations Visibility

To view your Akeneo Product Variations and Axis Details for each of your variant products, you'll need to adjust the Product2 object layout. 

This is important because it ensures that the product variations from Akeneo are visible for each record. To do this, just follow these simple steps:

  • Go to Setup and search for “Object Manager”
  • Click on "Product2" to open the object manager page
  • Click on "Page Layouts" and select the layout that you want to edit
  • Drag and drop the "Akeneo Product Variant Axis Details" related list onto the layout and “Akeneo Variant Products”
  • Adjust the columns of the "Akeneo Product Variant Axis Details related list  to display Locale, Attribute Label, and Attribute Value 
  • Save the layout, and you should see the related list now.

Once you complete a transfer of Akeneo Product Models and variants, you will be able to access each product variant axis with the related information directly from your related lists. 

 

Product Categories Assignments Visibility 

To view your Akeneo Category assignments for each of your products, you'll need to adjust the Product2 object layout. 

This is important because it ensures that the product categories from Akeneo are visible for each record. To do this, just follow these simple steps:

  • Go to Setup and search for “Object Manager”
  • Click on "Product2" to open the object manager page
  • Click on "Page Layouts" and select the layout that you want to edit
  • Drag and drop the "Akeneo Product Category Products" related list onto the layout
  • Adjust the columns of the related list  to display Name, Product Category
