Overview on SkuDB Knowledgebase

Projects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Projects page can be reached via the pyramid icon in the Top Left or the Person Icon in the bottom left. The “Log out” selection allows for quick log out of the SkuDB instance. The “Account” selection brings a user to the Projects page where they can perform the following functions:

Open an existing Project
Create a New Project
Logout

Administrative users have the additional ability to create new users and to view the system activity dashboard.

Navigation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To navigate between the views in SkuDB, open a new tab or pane. Navigate between the following views:

Dashboard

A high-level summary of the hierarchies in the project.

Tree

Open a tree view containing all hierarchies and categories in the project

Search

Search item IDs across the project.

Chatbot

An ai-powered chat that brings project data into the context of the conversation. The chat can run read-only SQL queries to view any requested vertical(s). Requires configuration in “Settings” view.

Fields

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Fields view allows a user to define any custom string or select fields on categories, attributes, values, items, units & issues. When creating a new field, a user may define a string field as WYSIWYG, meaning it will be larger with some basic formatting features like bold, italics, bullets, or numbered lists.

The Fields view lists all user-created fields that are stored on the SkuDB instance. The Fields view displays the Field’s location, name, description, and type.

Settings

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Project Settings view allows a user to configure certain aspects of the project setup. There are four main tabs under the project settings: Summary, Item Tiers, Freeze and Preview.

Summary

The summary tab allows the user to define and edit the project name.

Item Tiers

Exports

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Recent Project Exports tab lists all the export requests across the project, as well as their timestamp. Clicking on an export file will allow a user to redownload an export, rather than regenerating the export.

Imports

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Imports table allows you to load/import attribute values and field values using a standardized import template.

Issues

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Issues page provides a centralized place to track all issues across the hierarchy.

The Issues page contains a spreadsheet view of all the issues opened in the selected category, with columns for standard or user defined metadata fields including issue name, “closed?”, issue author, description, and a creation timestamp.

The Issues page contains the “Edit Issue View” feature, which allows a user to select the icon in the second column and see a popup view of all fields related to the issue. This can be helpful in issue review or editing.

QA

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The QA section includes a configurable term dictionary and style guideline module. These views are customizable via the Fields view.

Terms

The Term Dictionary is typically used to document preferred and non-preferred terms, and to track additional metadata at the term level (definition, term type, open issues).
