Distributors grid

The Distributors grid provides an overview of all Distributor Organizations and their key information.

Search

A search box allows you to search by organization ID, name, status, or address. The search box is bordered for easy identification, consistent with the Modern Subscriptions grid style.

Grid columns

The grid displays the following columns:

  • Organization Status — the current status of the Distributor Organization. Can be sorted and filtered. Status options are displayed as colored indicators:
    • Active (green indicator)
    • Pending Approval (yellow indicator)
    • Suspended
    • Fully Suspended
  • Organization Name — the name of the Distributor Organization. Can be sorted.
  • Organization ID — the unique identifier of the Distributor Organization. Can be sorted.

  • # of Vendors — the number of Vendors associated with the Distributor. Can be sorted.
  • Created On — the date the Distributor was created.
  • Actions — available actions for each Distributor (see Actions below).

Column headers are sticky (both vertically and horizontally) so they remain visible when scrolling. Sort and filter icons appear on mouseover of the column headers.

Actions

Each row in the grid includes two action icons:

  • Pencil icon — hover tooltip: Edit settings. Opens the Distributor settings for editing.
  • Store icon — hover tooltip: Manage sellers. Opens the Seller management view for the Distributor.

Pagination

Pagination controls are displayed at the bottom of the page, showing the number of records currently displayed (e.g., Showing 1 to 20 of 141 distributor(s)). You can navigate between pages using the previous and next arrows, or specify an exact page number directly in the page input field.

Available management options

The Sellers grid provides an overview of all Seller Organizations and their key information.

Search and toolbar

A search box allows you to search by organization ID, name, status, ERP ID, address, or contact. The search box is bordered for easy identification, consistent with the Modern Subscriptions grid style. 

The toolbar also includes the following controls:

  • Columns button — opens the Toggle Columns panel, allowing you to show or hide individual columns. A Reset option restores the default column selection.
  • Export button — exports the current grid data to the CSV file. Located between the Columns button and the + Create Seller button. Export history is stored and displayed on a per-user basis, meaning each user sees only their own previously initiated exports.
  • + Create Seller button — located to the right of the search box, opens the Create Seller form.

The grid displays the following columns. Column headers are sticky (both vertically and horizontally) and sort/filter icons appear on mouseover.

The Actions column is always visible, regardless of the number of columns selected.

Pagination

Pagination controls are displayed at the bottom of the page, showing the number of records currently displayed (e.g., Showing 1 to 3 of 3 seller(s)). You can navigate between pages using the previous and next arrows, or specify an exact page number directly in the page input field.

An Items per page selector is displayed below the grid, allowing you to control how many Sellers are shown per page. Available options are: 10, 20, 50, 100. The default value is 20. The number of rows displayed updates immediately based on your selection.

Column Management

The Sellers grid supports column reordering and resizing for a more personalized experience. Users can drag and drop column headers to rearrange them in any order, and their preferred layout is saved and remembered on a per-user basis. 
 

NOTE! The Actions column header is fixed and cannot be dragged or repositioned. 

Users can also resize specific columns by clicking and dragging the border of a column header to adjust its width. The columns eligible for resizing are:

  • Organization Name,
  • Organization ID, 
  • ERP ID, 
  • Contact Name, 
  • Contact Email, 
  • Contact Phone, 
  • Address, 
  • Country, 
  • Created By,
  • Approved By

Columns with a fixed width fall outside this set and cannot be manually resized. To restore all column widths back to their original default state, users can click the Reset button found within the Columns component.
 

Configuring Price Tier and Product Catalog

Price Tier configuration

Partners can separate the selection of Partner Pricing through Price Tier configuration. The Price Tier can be selected at any time, both before and after approval of the Partner.

Select from the dropdown list of existing price tiers or create a new one directly by clicking the + New button at the bottom of the dropdown. Upon clicking + New, you will be redirected to the Partner Prices page, where you can click Create new price tier to set up a new price tier.


Product Catalog assignment

The Distributor can assign the Product Catalog for each Seller from the available list. The Product Catalog can be selected before approval of the Partner.

Select from the dropdown list of existing catalogues or create a new one directly by clicking the + New button at the bottom of the dropdown. Upon clicking + New, you will be redirected to the Partner Catalogs page, where you can click Create new to set up a new product catalogue.

NOTE! After approval, the Product Catalog cannot be changed, and the field will become read-only. Contact AppXite Support if you select Approve unintentionally.

Performing Seller actions

You can perform the following actions on your Sellers:

  • Checkmark icon — Approve Seller. Once a new Platform is created, it must be approved.
    Hover tooltip: Approve Seller. Approves the Seller Organization. If the Seller is already in Active status, a tooltip message reads "Seller is already in Active status."
  • Pencil icon — Edit Info. The Distributor can edit information associated with the specific Seller and its Seller Platform.
    Hover tooltip: Edit information. Opens the Seller settings for editing.
  • Eye icon — Login on Behalf. The Distributor is entitled to log in to each Seller Platform for acting on behalf of the Seller. This includes managing Customers, Platform Users, prices, and Subscriptions on behalf of the Seller. You can add new Orders for Subscriptions and suspend Subscriptions (opens in the same window as the back-end management).
    Hover tooltip: Access seller platform. Opens the Seller Platform directly.
     
NOTE! Portal URL and Login on Behalf functionality work also when accessed through incognito or private browsing mode in all browsers.
