As an admin, you can use the CPQ Admin console to manage products and its related components such as options, attributes, and categories. The admin console helps you to create a product, associate the product with the categories, price lists, and price list items on a single page. You can define various settings in the Application Management section that are required to use CPQ.

Conga recommends you use CPQ Admin UI to create a product and associate the product with products, categories, price lists, and price list items. Alternatively, you can also use the classic Salesforce UI.


You can navigate to the Conga CPQ Admin app, and click the CPQ Admin tab to access the admin console. The homepage of the CPQ Admin user interface consists of the Products, Catalog, and Pricing tabs on the primary toolbar and the search and filter options on the secondary toolbar. You can configure the fields that are displayed on this page. For more information, see Configuring the CPQ Admin Landing Page Fields and Configuring the Product Creation Screen Fields.

A description of each of these user interface elements is provided as follows:
