Visualize your data in Data View
Visualize your product feed data in Data View in Productsup.
Introduction
Data View is the section of the platform where you can see how your feeds look before exporting them or check the state of your data at the Import or Intermediate stage.
To learn how to analyze your data in Data View, see Analyze your data in Data View.
If you wish to map your data, see Map your product data.

Check the changes in Data View with Live Preview or Full View
In Data View, you have two options to see the changes after applying a new mapping or editing data with rule boxes.
Live Preview shows you up to 10.000 products for the Import stage and 1000 for the Intermediate and Export stages. With Live Preview activated, the platform refreshes the Data View automatically if you make any changes to your data through new mapping or rule boxes.
Full View shows you all products for each stage. You need to refresh the data updates in Full View manually. Alternatively, your site processes the changes through scheduling or a manual trigger of Import/Export.
You can toggle between the Live Preview and Full View:
Go to Data View from the site's main menu. The platform highlights the active view.
In the top ribbon, select Live Preview or Full View.
Refresh Data View in Full View
Data View doesn't automatically show your latest changes if you are in the Full View.
To manually trigger an update of Data View:
Go to Data View from the site's main menu.
From the top ribbon, select Refresh next to the Live Preview.
Download products directly from Data View
You can download products from Data View into a CSV file.
The CSV file lets you check certain products without downloading an entire export feed.
Go to Data View from the site's main menu.
In the top ribbon, expand the Download drop-down menu.
Select the number of products you wish to download.
The platform downloads a CSV file to your computer.
Note
The Download button downloads every column you see in Data View. You can blend in columns to include them in your download or vice versa for excluding columns.
Download more than 10,000 products
The platform lets you download a maximum of 10,000 products. But you can select the specific columns only and download more products with the help of Blank Export. To download a CSV file with the products in the selected columns, take the following steps:
Go to Exports from your site's main menu and select ADD EXPORT.
Select Blank Export (empty) in the gray banner.
Go to Dataflow from your site's main menu and select your Blank Export (empty) channel in the top-left drop-down menu.
Connect only the columns you want to download and ensure the columns don't contain any skip rules.
(Optionally) Go to Data View and ensure you added all the necessary columns.
Go to Exports again and, in the Upload column, change Off to On for your export template.
Select the cogwheel icon (⚙) next to the added export template.
Select
Productsup Serverin the Add Destinations drop-down list in the Destination section.Select Export this export at the top-right corner of the page. Alternatively, the platform exports the file at the next scheduled run.
Scroll down to the Filename section and find your export feed link. Select it to download the feed.
Note
If the file is red after the end of the processing, reload the page.
Filter your products according to their attribute values
To view specific subsections of your products, apply filters in the filter menu. For example, filter out the products by particular categories or select only skipped products.
Use the Product Quickfilter
To see all, exported, or skipped products use Product Quickfilter, which is available at the intermediate and export stages.
Go to Data View from the site's main menu.
Select the intermediate stage or choose the needed export from the drop-down list on the left.
In the right corner of the top ribbon, select the menu icon.
In the Product Quickfilter section, choose All, Exported, or Skipped to let Data View display the desired products.
Add a filter
To search for products that meet a specific condition, add a filter. Filters are available at all stages in Data View.
You can apply filters in two ways:
In the top-ribbon menu, as shown on the screenshot in red.
Directly in an attribute column, as shown on the screenshot in pink.
Add a filter from the top ribbon menu
Go to Data View from the site's main menu.
Select the needed stage or export from the drop-down list on the left.
In the right corner of the top ribbon, select the menu icon.
In the Add Filter section, select the attribute you want to filter in the first drop-down menu.
Select a filter option in the second drop-down menu. For example, contains.
In Search term, enter a value or select the menu icon at the end of the field to choose one of the values of this attribute.
If needed, add another value by selecting Add one more and entering the desired value in the newly added field Or. You can remove the additional value by selecting the x icon.
Select Add.
It takes some time for Data View to refresh and show only the products that have the desired values in the chosen attribute. You can see a summary of your applied filter in the section Current Filter. To go back and let Data View display all products, you can remove the applied filter by selecting the x icon in Current Filter.
You can see an active filter as a green Filter button in the top ribbon.
If you add filter conditions in both Product Quickfilter or Add Filter sections, they work as AND, meaning that Data View only displays products meeting all the set filters. You can save your selected filters as a segment.
If you create multiple segments and select more than one segment in Available Segments, these filters work as OR, meaning that Data View displays products that meet any of the set filters in the chosen segments. The same logic persists when you apply a rule box to multiple segments.
Apply a filter directly in an attribute column
Go to Data View from your site's main menu.
Select the relevant stage or export in the drop-down menu on the left.
Select Filter in the attribute column where you want to add a filter.
In the Add Filter menu on the right, verify the selected attribute in the first drop-down menu and choose the desired filter option in the second drop-down menu. The default filter option is
contains.In Search term, enter a value or select the menu icon at the end of the field to choose one of the values of this attribute.
If needed, add another value by selecting Add one more and entering the desired value in the newly added field Or. You can remove the additional value by selecting the x icon.
Select Add.
It takes some time for Data View to refresh and show only the products that have the desired values in the chosen attribute. You can see a summary of your applied filter in the section Current Filter.

If you add filter conditions in both Product Quickfilter or Add Filter sections, they work as AND, meaning that Data View only displays products meeting all the set filters. You can save your selected filters as a segment.
If you create multiple segments and select more than one segment in Available Segments, these filters work as OR, meaning that Data View displays products that meet any of the set filters in the chosen segments. The same logic persists when you apply a rule box to multiple segments.
Save filters as segments
You can save your filters as segments and use them instead of entering all the filter conditions again.
See Use segments to apply rule boxes to specific product groups to create, edit, and delete a segment.
