Xakeneo Configuration
Step 3. Product selection
Define which products will be impacted by the configuration, either dynamically through filters or manually via product IDs.
🎯 Objective
Target only relevant products for processing, either manually or dynamically, while enabling full automation of prompt execution as product data evolves.
✅ Key Benefits
- 🧠 Dynamic product selection through multiple combined filters:
- Product family
- Product category
- Product enabled status
- One or more product attributes
- ➕ Logical AND combination of filters: only products that meet all selected criteria simultaneously are included.
- 🧩 Attribute-aware selectors: the filter interface adapts automatically to the type of attribute (e.g. single select, multi select, text, boolean), exactly like Akeneo’s rule engine.
- 🔍 Autocomplete feature: speeds up filter setup by suggesting codes and values based on user input.
- ⚙️ Automation-ready any product that matches the defined filters in the future will automatically be impacted by the prompt defined in Step 4 — no manual reprocessing needed.
- 📋 Manual override: paste a list of product identifiers (e.g., from an Excel column) for targeted one-shot executions.
- 💡 Flexible use cases: combine dynamic selection for automation and manual selection for exceptions or test batches.
💡 Example use case
A product data manager wants to apply a prompt only to enabled “jackets” from the “fall-winter” category where the attribute material = wool.
They configure the filters using the dynamic selector, which adapts to the attribute type, and autocomplete helps them quickly find the correct codes.
Later, a new jacket added to the PIM matching all those filters is automatically processed by the configuration — no further action required.
Separately, the manager also pastes a list of 30 product IDs copied from Excel to manually trigger prompt execution on a selected batch.
