Admin Product Grid by aheadWorks

Managing products is one of the most time consuming routines for Magento merchants. Surprisingly, even little process optimizations can save tons of time in the long run.

The Admin Product Grid extension adds the new Manage Products (Extended) tab that provides a possibility to customize the product grid view according to your needs as well as add and edit product attributes on the fly right from the grid.

Benefits of Admin Product Grid

Time Savings

The benefits provided by the Admin Product Grid extension are most apparent in side-by-side comparisons of two process flows required for the product attributes editing.

The flow with Admin Product Grid requires half less steps and time to get the same result comparing to the Native Magento flow.

Dedicated Grids

Each online store has its own and usually very specific commercial goals that determine internal business practices. Admin Product Grid allows you to easily create the desired view of the Manage Products grid - specify the columns to be displayed, define their order, delete unnecessary columns, etc.

The module supports next editable attribute types: Textfield, Textarea, Date, Dropdown, Yes/no, Multiselect.

Efficiently Control Editing

In order to avoid mistakes and unwanted attribute changes you can:
