Enhanced article library

The new article library has been completely redesigned to make it easier and faster to browse, search, and filter catalog items.

With a modern layout, an advanced search bar, and flexible tag filters, you can quickly move from a broad view of the catalog to a short list of relevant articles.

Overview of the new article library

The library interface is visually organized into three main areas:
 

1- Header

• Advanced search bar.

• Toggle to switch between search by Code/Description or by Keyword.
   

2- Left column

• Filters grouped by tag families (for example style, material, use).

• Category navigation with up to three levels (main category, subcategory, sub-level).
   

3- Right column

• Preview of the items matching the current search and filters.

• Toggle to switch between list and card view.

As you search or change filters, the right-hand side updates immediately, and category counters on the left show how many items match each category.

How can I search for articles?

The new article library offers 3 search tools: 

1. Tags
    
2. Category browsing
    
3. Advanced search bar
    

They are illustrated below.

Tag-based filters

Tag filters have been introduced in the enhanced article library to improve your search experience by making it more intuitive and faster. 
Tags are grouped by tag family (for example, Finish, Style, Collection). 
Within the same family:

• Multiple tags in the same group behave as OR
  (the item matches if it has any of the selected tags in that group).

Across different groups:

• Tags behave as AND
  (the item must satisfy all active groups at the same time).

Only tags marked as IsExclusive = 1 are shown as filters (click here for more details on this). Other tags may be hidden from the filter list but still searchable from the search bar.

Active filters are always visible by default, and you can remove filter chips one by one or click Clear all to reset the filtering and start again.

Category navigation

The category tree keeps the existing three-level structure so that users are already familiar with it:

• Level 1: main categories (for example, base units and wall units).

• Level 2: subcategories (for example, Standard, Corner).

• Level 3: sub-levels for more detailed grouping (for example, 45 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm).

Each category and subcategory shows a dynamic count of matching articles. When you apply a filter (tag), counts are updated instantly, and parent categories aggregate the results of all their children, so you always see the total impact of your search and filters.

Search bar

The search bar is always visible in the header and supports:

Search by Code/Description It offers double search modality alternatively by description or code. It accepts queries partially or fully matching them (minimum 3 characters), even with non-consecutive words. Matching strings of text are highlighted in the search results. Note! Press the Enter key to initiate the search.	Click here to view full screen.
Click here to view full screen.	Search by Keyword (tag) This search modality allows you to search by assigned tag. The list of matching tags drops down while typing. You choose the correct tag from the list, and the library returns all the articles having that tag assigned. The number of matching articles is signaled next to each category in the left column.

Note! The search bar supports multi-language search, aligned with the application and catalog language.

Results list and card view

You can switch between two alternative layouts:

List view Compact layout, ideal for scanning many items quickly. Greater emphasis on the item description.
Card view Visual layout, ideal when images are more important. Quick link to all the articles belonging to the same category.
Every result, in both list and card view, includes: Image of the article. Name and article code.
