Editing Product Settings

Overview

Sometimes you need to adjust specific product variants based on shipping conditions, fulfillment workflows, or to assign them to a different campaign, template, or selling plan. Making the correct product adjustments is important to ensure that your pre-orders and inventory behave as expected.

Timesact processes product settings at the variant level. Understanding how variant-level settings, bulk edits, and filters work together will help you update products more efficiently, especially when managing multiple selling plans or templates.

How Product Adjustments Are Applied

All Timesact settings are applied at the variant level, meaning each variant has its own configuration.

When you select a single variant, click Edit, make your changes, and save, those updates are applied only to that specific variant and are immediately registered.

This behavior is expected and is not an error. Because variants can have different settings, each variant must be saved individually for changes to take effect.

Variant-Level Edits vs Bulk Edits

Variant-Level Edits

• Changes are applied directly to individual variants
• Updates are immediately saved and registered
• Best used when variants require unique or precise settings

Bulk Edits

Bulk editing is useful when multiple variants are meant to share the same configuration. However, bulk edits work best when the selected variants already belong to the same selling plan or template.

If you select multiple variants that currently have different configurations, the settings may appear to reset to default values.

This is intentional system behavior. Since each variant may have different existing settings, Timesact displays default values when editing multiple variants at once. At this point, no changes have been saved.

Recommended Workflow: Filter First, Then Bulk Edit

When working with multiple selling plans or templates, it can be difficult to remember which products use which configuration. To avoid confusion and make bulk edits more effective, the recommended approach is to filter first, then bulk edit.

Step 1: Filter by Template or Selling Plan

Use the filter options in the product list to narrow down variants by:

• Selling plan
• Template

Filtering allows you to group together variants that already share the same configuration, making bulk edits more predictable and easier to manage.

Step 2: Select Filtered Variants

Once filters are applied:

• Select all relevant variants from the filtered list
• Click Edit to begin making bulk changes

Step 3: Apply Bulk Changes

Update the settings you want to change and save your edits. These changes will be applied consistently across all selected variants.

If you need to apply the same configuration to multiple variants that are not yet aligned, the recommended approach is to re-add the products instead of removing them.

Re-adding products updates and applies the same settings across all selected variants in bulk.

From there, you can adjust the settings as needed and save your changes.

Key Takeaways

• Timesact applies all settings at the variant level
• Bulk edits work best when variants already share the same selling plan or template
• Filtering by selling plan or template simplifies bulk updates
• Re-adding products is the fastest way to align multiple variants with the same configuration

Using filters before bulk editing helps prevent unexpected defaults and makes managing large product catalogs much easier.
