Feature | Item Management
We’ve introduced a big addition to the Items module: Item Management! With this release, you can now create, edit, delete, and copy items in Tweakwise App > Catalog > Items without the need of a an XML feed or Backend API. This gives you control over your items, directly in Tweakwise.
This allows you to all sorts of neat stuff, like:
- Quickly edit a product attribute (temporarily), for example quickly edit the stock of a product so you don't have to wait a full import cycle
- Create & manage visuals without a complicated workflow

The id will remain the unique identifier for an item. When creating an item, we will prefill it with a random value. New items created in the module persist until manually deleted. Validation is in place, for example to check if an item already exists.
In the attributes tab you can assign attributes and (multiple) attribute values to the item. If an attribute or attribute value does not exist, it can be created on the spot.

If an attribute does not exist, it can be created without switching workflow

Multiple attribute values can be assigned

If an attribute value does not exist, one can be created without
In the categories tab you can assign an existing category (or multiple) to the item.

Existing categories can be connected
Good to know:
- Feed imports & Backend API still remain the primary way of getting data into Tweakwise.
- Feed imports & Backend API operations have priority over any manually created/edited items. If you edit an item that is also contained in the feed, it will be overwritten in the next import chain. If you delete an item that is also in the feed, the item will be added in the next import chain.
- Some fields in the general tab are characteristics, like image. If a derived attribute is set as characteristic for this field and it does not use the default fields, make sure that derived attribute will handle your manual case correctly.
- It is not possible to create categories through this module, that should still be done using the regular workflow.
