Dynamic Fields

Dynamic fields are properties GoPlanogram calculates, whose values may change depending the state of a planogram.

As such, these properties should only be used to create expressions for parts of your site that interact with the display itself (such as heatmaps, labels, report properties), and not other sections (such as catalog filters, catalog sorters, or catalog tooltips).

Dynamic fields may be used in calculations as well as 1-1 property mappings (they appear in the final section of the property dropdown).

A brief description of each follows:

FieldDescription
AreaThe area of a product, in square units, taking into account its current orientation.
Barcode128Returns the UPC (or ProductID, if no UPC found) of the product as a scannable Code 128 barcode, only in reports below images.
Barcode39Returns the UPC (or ProductID, if no UPC found) of the product as a scannable Code 39 barcode, only in reports below images.
BarcodeEAN13Returns the UPC (or ProductID, if no UPC found) of the product as a scannable EAN-13 barcode, only in reports below images.
BayThe rack bay number, from left to right, a product is on. This will be 0 if a product is not on a rack. A synonym for BayNumber.
BayNumberThe rack bay number, from left to right, a product is on. This will be 0 if a product is not on a rack. A synonym for Bay.
BayPosition

The rack bay number, from left to right, a product is on. This field calculates "universal" bay based on the horizontal position of each Rack in the planogram.

Even if three separate racks exist, bay values will be assigned 1–3 across all racks, instead of each bay count restarting at 1 for each rack.

This will be 0 if a product is not on a rack. Not to be confused with Bay.

CapacityReturns the number of product that could fit in its current peghook or shelf. This accounts for product orientation. Default value is 1.
ContainerIndex

Returns the index of the container this product is in. If the product's container is on a shelf, the containers on it are ordered from 1 to N, left to right.

If the product's container is parented to a rack, all containers on it are ordered from top left to bottom right, 1 to N.

If the product's container is not on a shelf or a rack, this returns "Not in container".

ContainerPositionReturns the position of a product in a container, ordered from 1 to N, top to bottom. If product is not in a container, returns "Not in container".
CostFitsA decimal number specifying the cost of the product multiplied by how many can fit on its current fixture / peghook. If the product is part of a facing group, this is still the cost per facing, not for all facings in the group.
CostQtyA decimal number specifying the cost of the product multiplied by how many the user has specified at that location.
EyeLevelA decimal number between 0 and 1 specifying how close to eye level a product on a rack has been placed.
FacingsDeepReturns the specified number of facings deep at this position. While this is often the same as Capacity, you may specify a different Quantity that does not correspond with the maximum facings deep that could fit. A synonym for FacingsDeep.
FacingsFront

Multiples FacingsHigh and FacingsWide to get the total number of facings as viewed in XY plane.

Similar to FacingsTotal, but does not include FacingsDeep

FacingsFrontPerSKUReturns the total number of facings for this SKU, excluding FacingsDeep (across all positions containing this SKU).
FacingsHighReturns the number of vertical facings in this position (facing group). Default value is 1.
FacingsTotal

A convenience field that multiplies FacingsWide x FacingsHigh x FacingsDeep to get the total number of facings specified at a position.

Not to be confused with FacingsFront, which just considers FacingsWide x FacingsHigh

FacingsTotalPerSKUReturns the total number of facings for this SKU, including FacingsDeep (across all positions containing this SKU).
FacingsWideReturns the number of horizontal facings in this position (facing group). Default value is 1.
FixtureThe name of the fixture a product is on, or the empty string if the product is not on a fixture. A synonym for FixtureName.
FixtureDepthReturns the depth of the product's containing fixture. If the product is not on a fixture, returns 0.
FixtureDescriptionThe description given to the fixture a product is on, or "N/A" if the product is not on a fixture.
FixtureNameThe name of the fixture a product is on, or the empty string if the product is not on a fixture. A synonym for Fixture.
HookLengthThe length of the hook for a pegged product position
HookNameThe name of the hook for a pegged product position
HookProngsCountThe number of prongs for the hook assigned to a pegged product position
HookQtyThe quantity of the hook for a pegged product position
HookSKUThe SKU of the hook for a pegged product position
HookType

The type of the hook for a pegged product position. Possible values are:

  • S - Standard, uses 2 pegholes with the hook between them
  • J - Uses a single peghole
  • L - Loop hook, wider appearance
IsOnPegboardReturns 1 if the product is on a pegboard, 0 otherwise.
IsOnShelfReturns 1 if the product is on a shelf, 0 otherwise.
ItemImageRenders the item image in PDF Reports / Live Insights for this product.
LocationIDA number identifying a product location on a planogram. LocationID's are assigned left to right, top to bottom, per bay, per fixture.
MarginThe margin for a position rounded to 2 decimals. Requires price / cost data.
MerchStyle

The current merchandising style of a product position. Typically this is "Default", though any style is possible.

Common examples include Tray, Carton, PDQ, Unit, etc...

For more information on how to set up merch styles, see the catalog format documentation

OrientationReturns the orientation of this product (i.e. Front 90, Top, etc..)
PositionAcross

A decimal number specifying the horizontal position of the product on its fixture.

For pegboards, this is the number of pegholes from the left edge of the pegboard.

For shelves, this is a unique number, from 1 to N (where N is the number of products / fixture groups on the shelf), from left to right.

For containers, this is the same as ContainerIndex.

For all other fixtures, this is the number of inches / cm across from the left edge of the fixture.

PositionDown

A decimal number specifying the vertical position of the product on its fixture.

For pegboards, this is the number of pegholes down.

For shelves, this is always 0.

For all other fixtures, this is the number of inches / cm down from the top of the fixture.

PositionHeightThe total amount of vertical space a Position takes up
PositionWidthThe total amount of horizontal space a Position takes up
PriceFitsA decimal number specifying the price of the product multiplied by how many can fit on its current fixture / peghook. If the product is part of a facing group, this is still the price per facing, not for all facings in the group.

ProfitTotal profit for a position, taking into account facings high, wide, and deep, rounded to 2 decimals. Requires this item has Price / Cost data.
ProfitEachProfit for a single product in a position, rounded to 2 decimals, even if it has multiple facings high, wide, or deep. Requires this item has Price / Cost data.
QuantityReturns the specified number of facings deep at this position. While this is often the same as Capacity, you may specify a different Quantity that does not correspond with the maximum facings deep that could fit. A synonym for FacingsDeep.
RackThe name of the rack the product is on, even if the product is in a different fixture that is attached to a rack. See also Fixture.
RackAreaThe area of the rack a product is on, in square units. If the product is not on a rack, this is 0. See also Area.
RackDepthReturns the depth of the rack this product is on, or 0 if product is not on a rack.

ShelfIndexReturns the index of the product's shelf. Shelves on racks are ordered by vertical position. The highest shelf is index 1, and the lowest index N. Shelves with equal vertical positions are sorted based on their horizontal positions, leftmost shelves first. If the product is not on a shelf on a rack, this returns -1. Not to be confused with ShelfIndexBay.
ShelfIndexBayReturns the index of the product's shelf within its bay. Shelves within each bay are ordered by vertical position. The highest shelf is index 1, and the lowest index N. If the product is not on a shelf on a rack, this returns -1. Not to be confused with ShelfIndex.
