One record per range, everything attached

A Brikl catalog is the record a range lives in — its status, its setup progress, its margin, the customer it belongs to, the stores selling it and the people responsible for it. You read all of that from a list, and open the products when you need to change them.

The state of every range, from one screen

Most catalog tools show you a name and a date. That tells you a catalog exists. It doesn’t tell you whether it is finished, whether it is making money, or whose job it is. Every column here answers one of those.

1

Status

Published, Draft or Scheduled. The one column that answers “is this live?” without opening anything.

2

Setup

A progress bar over the steps a catalog needs before it can sell — so a range that looks finished but is three steps short says so on its own row.

3

Product count

How many products the catalog holds, which is usually the fastest way to spot the one that was started and abandoned.

4

Margin

The catalog's average margin, colored when it drops. A range priced too thin is visible from the list rather than discovered at invoicing.

5

Customer

The account the range belongs to, so several catalogs for the same client group together and a shared range is obviously shared.

6

Owner

The person on your team responsible for it, with their avatar — the answer to “who do I ask about this one?”

7

Modified

Relative and exact: “Last week” with the date underneath, because both questions get asked.

The list narrows as far as you need

Search, filter and sort sit above the table. Page size is yours to set, and the count is always stated in full — which page of how many, and how many catalogs in total.

Select several, act on all of them

A bar above the list waits for a selection and then offers what can be done to the catalogs you picked — rather than hiding bulk actions behind a menu you have to know exists.

Making one takes two picks — tell it what the client does and it allocates matching products, or hand-pick from the Marketplace. See Create from anywhere.

The record

The list stays where it is

Click a catalog and its record opens beside the list rather than replacing it. The row you came from stays highlighted, the rest of the table stays readable, and a pager at the top of the panel steps through every catalog in the list without going back.

So reviewing twelve catalogs is twelve clicks on one arrow — not twelve round-trips through a list, a detail page and a back button.

The panel also carries the two actions you reach for from a list: share the catalog, or select it to include in whatever bulk action you are building.

One button to the products

Everything on the record is about the range. The range itself is one press away.

Open this catalog is the first thing on the Overview tab, above the fields, telling you how many products are waiting. It takes you to product settings — the table where every product, colorway and size is categorised, decorated and priced.

That is the division the whole feature rests on. The record answers questions about the range. The table changes it.

Seven tabs, one catalog

Everything a range needs beyond its products — how it looks, when it sells, where it sells, who owns it, and what has happened to it.

1

Overview

The identity of the catalog, and the way into its products.

Products, setup and average margin sit at the top as three numbers. Below them: the name, an internal description that is never shown to customers, and the status. And above all of it, one button — Open this catalog — which takes you to the products themselves.

2

Content

How the catalog presents itself.

An icon used as the catalog's cover in cards, lists and miniatures, and a banner shown at the top of its storefront page. Both are drop-or-browse, with the expected dimensions and file limits printed on the target rather than buried in a help article. Underneath, rich-text content blocks you place on the catalog's page.

3

Integration

When it goes live, and where it sells.

A publish date and an optional unpublish date — a future publish date moves the status to Scheduled, and an empty unpublish date keeps it live indefinitely. A repeat setting turns a one-time window into a recurring one. Channels sit below: your public store is always on, and additional channels are enabled per catalog.

4

Stores

Everything selling this range, in one list.

Link several stores at once, unlink one from its own row, or open a store's record with the arrow. Each linked store shows its domain and whether it is live or still a draft — so a catalog feeding seven storefronts is legible as seven storefronts, not as a number in a header.

5

People

Who it's for, and who's responsible.

Two cards. The customer the catalog is assigned to, with their company and role; and the owner on your team, tappable to hand over. Roles are labelled — Customer, Team member — so an external contact is never mistaken for an internal one.

6

Settings

Handing it over, or taking it out of circulation.

Transfer a catalog to another organization — which sends a request to that org's admins and moves nothing until they accept. Or archive it, which hides it from the list and pulls its products from every linked store, and is reversible from the same place.

7

Activity

What changed, who changed it, and when.

A timeline grouped into Today and Earlier: details edited, status published, catalog created — each with the person's name and the time. The catalog's own reference number sits on the creation entry.

Why a range is its own thing

Keeping the catalog separate from the store is what makes a range reusable — and what stops the same twenty products being rebuilt per account.

Build it once

Curate and price a corporate everyday range one time. Every client store that sells it draws on the same catalog, at the same numbers.

Duplicate it for the next account

Clone a catalog with its categories, colorways, logo assignments and pricing, then adjust the copy for a new client instead of starting from an empty screen.

Share it before it sells

Send a catalog by link so a client can see the range, with or without pricing and decoration detail, before any store exists.

Frequently asked questions

What is a catalog in Brikl?
A catalog is the record a range of products lives in. It carries the products themselves plus everything attached to them: status, setup progress, average margin, the customer it belongs to, the stores selling it, the people responsible for it, and its full change history. Stores are built from catalogs, so one catalog can sell through as many storefronts as you need.
How do I get to a catalog's products?
Open the catalog record and press Open this catalog. That takes you to product settings — the table where every product, colorway and size is categorised, decorated and priced.
Can one catalog be sold by more than one store?
Yes, and that is the point of separating catalogs from stores. The Stores tab lists every storefront currently selling the range, with its domain and whether it is live or a draft. You can link several stores at once or unlink one from its row.
Can I schedule a catalog to go live?
Yes. Set a publish date and the status moves to Scheduled until that date arrives. An unpublish date is optional — leaving it empty keeps the catalog live indefinitely — and a repeat setting turns a one-time window into a recurring one, which is how seasonal ranges are run.
What does the setup bar mean?
It counts the steps a catalog needs before it can sell properly. A range that shows three of six is missing work — categorisation, decoration, pricing — and says so from the list, rather than being discovered when a store is already live.
Can I see which catalogs are underpriced?
The list carries an average margin per catalog, colored when it falls. That is a read on the whole range from one screen; the arithmetic behind any individual price is inspectable inside product settings.
Who can a catalog be assigned to?
Each catalog has a customer it is assigned to and an owner on your team. Both are shown with their organization and role, and the owner can be changed. This is what keeps a shared account legible when several people are building ranges for the same client.
What happens when I archive a catalog?
It is hidden from the list and its products are pulled from every linked store. Nothing is deleted — the catalog can be restored from the same screen at any time.
Can I move a catalog to another organization?
Yes. Transferring sends a request to the receiving organization's admins, and nothing moves until they accept. That's how a range is handed between a supplier and a distributor, or between sub-organizations in a distributor network.
