Products and values

The Products page: tile dimensions, pieces per box, coverage per box, coverage per gallon, container sizes and the sample link, edited in bulk across every product.

Everything the blocks show comes from a handful of values on each product. The Products page in the app edits them in bulk; they are also visible in the Shopify product editor under the app's pinned metafields, so either place works.

The three views

The page has three tabs. Each shows the columns that matter for that kind of product and lets you edit every row, then saves all your edits with one Save button, even across pages.

Tile

Column	What it is	Used by
Dimensions	Length x width x thickness of one tile, in the store's dimension unit. Thickness is optional.	Tile specs row, the suggested coverage
Pieces per box	How many tiles come in a box	Tile buy box (the tile count), Tile specs row
Coverage per box	The area one box covers, in the store's area unit. The field suggests length x width x pieces as a placeholder when the dimensions are set; the manufacturer's rated coverage always wins when you enter it.	Tile buy box (the box count), Tile specs row
Tiles per unit of area	Read-only: pieces per box divided by coverage per box, or one over the tile area when the box values are missing	Tile specs row
Sample product	The product (or variant) you sell as the sample of this tile	The sample card and button, sample tracking

Paint

Column	What it is	Used by
Coverage per gallon	The area one gallon covers with a single coat	Paint buy box, Paint specs row
Sizes	A size and a unit per variant (1 gallon, 0.25 gallon or 1 quart, 5 kilo). Units: gallon, quart, pint, litre, millilitre, kilo, gram. Leave both blank and the app reads the size from the variant title when it says Quart, 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 2.5 L, 750 ml or 5 kg; the placeholder shows what it read.	Paint buy box (which containers to recommend), Paint specs row
Words (tile tab)	The container word and the piece word a tile is sold by: crate, carton, pallet; sheet, plank. Singular; add the plural after a pipe when it is irregular (box\|boxes). Blank keeps the words set on the block.	Tile buy box labels, the result line, the summary prices
Sample product	The sample sold for this colour	The sample button, sample tracking

Samples

Every product with its linked sample and the sample's status, so you can see at a glance which products still need one. A sample can be a separate product (pick it with Choose) or a variant of the product itself titled "Sample" (the blocks find that on their own; see Samples for how the two setups differ).

Bulk actions

The More actions menu on the page offers:

Fill coverage from dimensions: for every product on the pages you have opened that has dimensions and pieces per box but no coverage, fills the coverage with length x width x pieces. Review the numbers before saving; rated coverage is usually a little less than the nominal area because of grout joints.
Copy mapped values to all products: writes the values from your field map into the app's fields on every product where the app's field is still blank. Runs in the background and shows a notice when it finishes.
Export CSV and Import CSV: see CSV import and export.

Where the values live

The values are Shopify product metafields under the app's own namespace, created when you install the app and pinned in the product editor. They belong to your store: a theme developer can read them in Liquid, other apps can read them, and they stay on your products if you ever uninstall the app.

Keeping the catalog complete

Once the first products are set up, create a catalog health rule for the collection they live in. From then on the app tells you which products are missing a value or a sample, instead of you finding out from a product page with no buy box.
