# Catalog

Your catalog is the foundation of AB Tasty Commerce. It is the **single shared product source** consumed by every other module, **Recommendations**, **Merchandising** and **Search**. The quality and freshness of your catalog directly determine the quality of the strategies you build on top of it.

This section covers everything from connecting a catalog source, through structuring its datasets and fields, to keeping it continuously up to date.

### The Catalog page

Open **Catalog** in the left navigation to inspect the products currently loaded into Commerce.

#### Catalog table columns

The product table lists each product with the following columns:

| Column                   | Description                                                        |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Image**                | Product thumbnail.                                                 |
| **Name**                 | Product display name.                                              |
| **id**                   | Unique product identifier.                                         |
| **price**                | Product price.                                                     |
| `pageviews_last_30_days` | Number of product-page views in the last 30 days (from analytics). |
| `purchases_last_30_days` | Number of purchases in the last 30 days (from analytics).          |
| `revenues_last_30_days`  | Revenue generated in the last 30 days (from analytics).            |

{% hint style="info" %}
The `*_last_30_days` columns are populated from your connected analytics source. They are also the fields used by default ranking rules such as **Best sellers** and **Most consulted products**.
{% endhint %}

#### Page actions

The toolbar above the table provides:

* **Manage catalog** (gear icon), opens the catalog manager, where you define how your source catalog is imported and create **Smart Tags**. See smart-tags.
* **Display settings**: choose which columns are shown in the table.
* **Filters**: narrow the product list, including filtering by a **Smart Tag**.
* **Search**: the *"Search in your catalog..."* box for finding individual products.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.abtasty.com/commerce/catalog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
