Tasks for business users

Business users manage the content of the product information.

As a business user, you can use the product interface for your tasks. In most cases, you use the appropriate screens to add and edit item content or work with categories. If you have more responsibilities, you might use the consoles and menus that are available under the Product Manager, Collaboration Manager, and Data Model Manager menu choices in the interface.

Screens for adding and editing items and categories

You use the Single edit and Multi-edit screens to add and edit items and categories. You can select an item from the Worklist UI or select a catalog from the left pane to access one of these screens.

Menus for more objects and tasks

Some business users might have responsibilities in a PIM system in addition to working with items and categories. You can find the menus and consoles for some additional tasks under the Product Manager, Collaboration Manager, and Data Model Manager menu choices in the interface. Depending on the role that you have and the level of access and customization, certain tasks might not be available for you, and the menus might be different.
