Browse your catalog

When you open Emfas, you land on the Products page - your main catalog view. This is where you'll browse, search, and filter to find what you need.

Works for all catalog items

This guide focuses on Products, but you can use the same search and filter process for Variants, Assets, and other catalog items. Just click on them in the sidebar to switch views.

The catalog view

Your catalog displays as a clean list of products. Each product shows:

Product thumbnail
Product name
Source (shown as a badge, like "Shopify")
Number of variants

Your catalog may look different

Not all data shown here may be available or applicable for your workspace. Some brands don't use variants or images, and your source might be different (like Centra or a PLM system instead of Shopify).

Customizing display settings

You can customize which attributes appear inline in your catalog view. This lets you see the information that matters most to you at a glance, without having to open each product.

To customize your display settings:

Click the Display button in the toolbar (or press D)
Select which attributes you want to show inline in the catalog
Your settings are saved automatically and persist across sessions

Searching

Use the search bar at the top to quickly find products by name. Just start typing and the list updates instantly.

Filtering

Click the Filter button to narrow down your catalog. You can filter by any attribute - like category, status, or whether a product has images.

For example, to find all products missing descriptions:

Click Filter
Find the Description attribute
Press Enter to filter for empty descriptions

The catalog updates to show only matching products.

Combining filters

You can add multiple filters to get more specific results. Each filter narrows down the list further.

For example, to find products with empty descriptions that have "Liquid" in the name:

Add a filter for Description is empty
Add a filter for Name contains "Liquid"

Both conditions must be true for a product to appear in the results.

Keyboard shortcuts

Speed up filtering with keyboard shortcuts: Press F to open filters, use arrow keys to navigate attributes, and press Enter to submit.

Match any vs match all

By default, Emfas uses Match All - products must meet every filter condition. You can switch to Match Any to show products that meet at least one condition.

Using our previous example with Description is empty and Name contains "Liquid":

Mode	What it shows	Use case
Match All (default)	Products with an empty description AND "Liquid" in the name	When you need products that meet specific criteria
Match Any	Products with an empty description OR "Liquid" in the name (or both)	When you want to cast a wider net
