ZINFI Unified Partner Management — Sell
Product Catalog Management — Product Tour
Guided walkthrough of partner-facing Product Catalog Management — browsing the read-only product grid, organizing it with Search, Filter, View/Saved Filters and Create View, reading a product's full specification with sequential record navigation, and opening a Price Book to find the tier-specific Partner Price for each SKU.
20 guided steps, about 7 minutes. Sample data only — nothing in the tour affects live data.
Full walkthrough
- Product Catalog Management is reached from Sell → Products in the left menu. This is View Products: a read-only view of everything the OEM has published to you. You cannot add, change or remove catalog records here — the catalog is maintained by the vendor.
- The grid lists Product Name, Product Type, SKU, Solution Offered Name, Category and Active. Only products marked Active = Yes are available to sell; an inactive row is kept for reference on the installed base.
- Search Products locates a record by keyword — type any part of a product name, SKU, solution or category and the grid narrows as you type.
- Filter refines the set further than a keyword search. Press Next and we'll open the filter panel.
- Choose your filter criteria — Product Type, SKU, Solution Offered Name, Category and Active — then Apply to run them against the grid.
- Create View lets you save your own column layout for this list. Press Next to open it.
- Create View builds a custom column layout and filter configuration you can return to, so a large catalog opens the way you work.
- View/Saved Filters switches between the views that have already been saved, without rebuilding the criteria each time.
- Click any Product Name to open its detail page. Press Next and we'll open the first product.
- The detail page holds two collapsible panels, and the arrows here move you sequentially through the products in the grid without returning to the list.
- Product Information carries the complete specification: name, image, minimum and retail price, currency, type, SKU, the solution it belongs to, category and whether it is active.
- Product Description holds the full Description — the OEM-sanctioned messaging, so what you put in front of a customer matches what the vendor published.
- The navigation arrow moves you to the next product in the grid. Press Next and we'll use it.
- The next product's specification loads in place, so you can read through a shortlist without going back to the list page.
- Price Books sits beside Products in the Sell menu. It lists the books published to partners — Gold, Registered, Platinum, Silver and Bronze Partners, the Referral Pricebook and the Standard Price Book.
- Search Price Books, Filter and View/Saved Filters work the same way here — a keyword search field beside the Filter button and the saved views you have already created.
- Click any Price Book Name to open its detail page. Press Next and we'll open the Gold Partners book.
- Price Book Information records the book's name, currency, whether it is the standard book, the affiliate commission rate and unit, and whether commission is assigned by product solution.
- The Products sub-panel lists each SKU with its Partner Price — your tier-specific cost. This is the authoritative reference for what you pay per SKU when you build a quote.
- That completes Product Catalog Management: browsing and filtering the read-only catalog, opening any product's full specification and moving through records sequentially, and finding the tier-specific pricing in your price book.
Questions about this tour
- How do partners access product and pricing information in ZINFI?
- The Product Catalog gives partners a read-only product grid with Search, Filter, View/Saved Filters and Create View. Each product record holds its full specification, and a price book shows the tier-specific partner price for each SKU.
- What is a price book in ZINFI?
- A price book maps each product SKU to the price that applies to a given partner tier or agreement, so a partner sees the price relevant to them rather than a single list price.
- Can partners edit product records?
- No. The partner-facing catalog is read-only — products and price books are maintained by the vendor, and partners browse, search and reference them.
- How long does the ZINFI Product Catalog Management tour take?
- About 7 minutes at a normal pace — 20 guided steps through the Product Catalog Management module, part of the ZINFI Unified Partner Management (UPM) platform under the Sell pillar. The tour is self-paced and can be left and restarted from the beginning.
- Do I need an account to take the Product Catalog Management tour?
- No. There is no sign-up and no demo call. The tour runs in the live interface on sandbox records, so nothing you click changes real data, and you can exit at any step.
