Overview

Good product data helps customers make decisions and helps your team publish more complete content across channels and marketplaces. In Sales Layer, each item has a Quality Score, which is a percentage that shows how complete its information is. You can see that score on product thumbnails, but the Quality Report gives you a dedicated place to review completeness across your catalog and improve it more efficiently.

What the Quality Report shows

Open Quality Report to see a summary of how complete your product information is across different sections. This gives you a quick view of where your catalog is strong and where more work is needed.

Review incomplete fields from the Tables tab

The Tables tab lists your fields and shows the completion percentage for each one. If you click a field with a low score, Sales Layer opens the list of products where that field is missing.

From there, switch to Excel mode to update several products faster. In Excel mode, click Default and choose Modify Columns so you only display the fields you need while you complete the missing information.

You can also remove fields you no longer need from the Tables tab.

Mark a field as not applicable

Sometimes a field exists in the form but does not apply to a specific product. In that case, you can mark the field as not applicable so it is excluded from the Quality Score calculation for that product.

To do this, open the product form and click the icon above the empty field. The field name will appear crossed out, which shows that the field has been excluded from the calculation. To make the field active again, simply type in it or import a value into it.

Some basic fields cannot be excluded from the quality percentage calculation. These include Attribute Set, Reference, Product name, Category reference, Description, Image, Status, and Tags.

Hide not applicable fields in the form

If you want users to focus only on the fields they still need to complete, you can hide fields marked as not applicable from the form. At the top of the screen, click Fields and choose Hide disregarded fields. When you want to display them again, click Fields and choose Show disregarded fields.

Apply not applicable fields in bulk

If the same unused fields affect many products, you do not need to update them one by one. Go to Actions > Modify in bulk and use the option to disregard empty fields or activate disregarded fields. This is useful when a field is part of the structure but does not apply to a whole group of products.

How not applicable affects the Quality Score

A field marked as not applicable is not treated as completed. Instead, it is removed from the total number of fields used in the calculation.

For example, if a product has 10 fields and 8 are filled, its Quality Score is 80%. If one of the empty fields is marked as not applicable, the calculation is based on 9 fields instead of 10, so the score becomes 89%.

Print the report

You can print the Quality Report to share it with other teams or use it during meetings when reviewing data quality priorities.

Common Use Cases

The Quality Report is especially useful when you want to prepare product data before publishing, identify which fields are lowering completeness, update missing values in bulk through Excel mode, or review fields that are no longer relevant to your current structure.

Best practices

Review the Tables tab regularly, keep your Excel view limited to the columns you really need, and only mark a field as not applicable when it genuinely does not apply to that product. If your team works directly in forms, hiding not applicable fields can also make the editing experience cleaner and faster.
