Click this button if you want to export your product list to Excel. 

To create a new product, click the Create button. 

Fill in the fields that appear in the workflow. If a line is marked (optional), that field is not mandatory.

Click Create.

The product card for the new product will open on the right-hand side.

You can scroll through the entire product card or use the shortcuts to jump between different sections.

You can also click the magnifying glass icon and type a search term to find a specific part of the product card. 

You can now add additional information about the product, such as EAN, DUN, Dimensions, Weight, List Price, VAT, etc.

If you have checked that your product is a Display Pallet, you can add products under the Display items tab.

Scroll down to Display Articles, or click on the Display Articles tab icon.
Click the plus (+) sign.
Search for and check the products included in your display pallet.
Click Apply.

Then, click on each row to enter the number of consumer units included in the display pallet/display. 

To add Supplier and groups to the articles (if your company uses these):
Scroll down to Supplier, Group by, Classification, or click the relevant tab icon. 

Click the drop-down arrows next to each heading and select the appropriate options for the article. 

If you have more than one sales force in the same database, you can control which sales force sees the article.
Scroll down to Sales Force or click the Sales Force tab icon. 

Check the box for the sales force(s) that should be able to see the article. 

If you don’t check any, the product will be visible to all sellers if it is active. 

In the Personal Fields tab, you can enter information that your company has chosen to include in your setup.
Scroll down to Personal Fields, or click the tab icon. 

Under the Documents tab, you can attach documents to the product. Documents can also be uploaded under Product Group.
 Scroll down to Documents, or click the tab icon. Then click the plus (+) sign. 

Select the document you want to add and click Open. 

You must also link districts to the images. Do this by clicking on the file nam 

Select which districts you want to associate with the image by clicking the drop-down arrow under Districts. Once you’ve selected the districts, click Save Changes.

Import Products

Click the Search button to view all active products, then click Export to download the template used for product import. 

The file will appear under Downloads, from where you can open it. 

An Excel file will open where you can correct information for existing products or add new ones.
It’s important not to change any column headers in the file — the structure must remain the same for it to be imported correctly. 

Once you’ve added or updated information in the Excel file and saved it, click the Import button in Argus. 

Select the file you wish to import and click Open.
The file will then be uploaded. 

Multiedit

If you want to make changes to several articles at once, you can use MultiEdit.

Start by selecting the articles you want to edit. As soon as you check two or more, the MultiEdit panel will open automatically on the right-hand side.

You’ll see the available options in the image below. 

Make the selections you want to apply to all marked products and click Apply.

Note: When you’re done, click Save at the top. 

Through Show / Hide Columns, you can hide columns you don’t need.
Uncheck a column to remove it from the list.
 If you later want to see the column again, simply check it again. 

Delete product

When you delete a product, you can no longer view its history.
If you don’t want the product to be visible to the sales force but still want to keep the history, change its status to Inactive.

If you want to delete a product completely, you must contact Vitec Nordman Support, and they will assist you.
