Task 6: Update and Search Products/Buyers
Updating Products/Buyers
1. Purpose:
This feature enables users to modify existing product or buyer details to maintain accurate
and up-to-date records.
2. Steps to Implement:
✅ Select Record:
• Provide an intuitive way to select a record for updating, such as an "Edit" button next to
each item in the list.
• Allow users to search for a specific product or buyer before editing.
✅ Populate Form:
• Load the current details into an editable form.
• Pre-fill fields with existing data to reduce manual input errors.
✅ Edit Details:
• Ensure users can modify only permitted fields.
• Implement validation rules to prevent incorrect or inconsistent data entry.
✅ Save Changes:
• Update the record in the database upon form submission.
• Ensure smooth backend processing to handle updates efficiently.
✅ Provide Feedback:
• Show real-time notifications for successful updates.
• Display error messages if the update fails due to conflicts, missing data, or restrictions.
3. User Considerations:
🔹 Restrict editing permissions based on user roles (e.g., admin, seller).
🔹 Implement an undo feature or version history for tracking changes.
🔹 Ensure the update process is fast and does not disrupt user workflow.
Searching Products/Buyers
1. Purpose:
This feature helps users quickly locate specific products or buyers using search criteria,
improving efficiency in large datasets.
2. Steps to Implement:
✅ Search Bar:
• Provide a keyword-based search bar for quick lookups.
• Support search by name, category, location, or unique ID.
✅ Filters for Precision:
• Include dropdowns, checkboxes, or sliders to refine searches (e.g., price range, category,
location).
• Allow multi-filter combinations for advanced searching.
✅ Display Results Clearly:
• Show search results in a structured table or list with essential details (e.g., product name,
category, email, location).
• Highlight matching terms within the results for better visibility.
✅ Enable Quick Actions:
• Let users perform actions like View, Edit, or Delete directly from the search results.
• Provide tooltips or icons for enhanced usability.
3. User Considerations:
🔹 Ensure searches are fast and responsive, even with extensive datasets.
🔹 Support partial matches and case-insensitive search for flexibility.
🔹 Include a clear/reset search button to revert to the full list effortlessly.
🔹 Implement pagination or infinite scrolling for improved navigation in large result sets.
