Product Filters
Product filters section mostly allows you to filter out products you don't want in the feed, but also replace values generated with Columns Map definition.
Allow Out of Stock
This filter is applied to standalone simple products or configurable products. Associated simple products have other rules defined in "Configurable products" and "Grouped products"
Submit only products of these types
You can specify by store what types of products should be included in the feed.
Adding configurable or bundle types will actually pull also associated simple products if it's specified in the Configurable products or Apparel sections. Custom product types like AheadWorks subscription types will do fine.
Submit only products that have these attribute sets
If you want to include All Attribute Sets, you can select only the first option; selecting the first option along with a few other sets won't include all sets.
Replace empty values
This set of rules has similar function as Columns Map, the only difference is that columns defined here have to exist. Make sure you save your column map first.
This setting gives the opportunity to stop the feed from delivering empty columns when products are lacking respective data. You can set your empty data to be replaced with Static Values or any other regular Directive or Attributes.
The rules defined here will be applied last in the catalog processing, right before the output, and they will be applied in the order defined by Order column in this grid.
You can actually define cascading rules for the same column to minimize the risk of having empty values in the feed. (see Fig 7.7)

Find and replace
The find & replace will apply at column output, similarly how replace empty values does. The more rules you apply the slower your feed will be, not recommended for large catalogs. (see Fig 7.8)
Save your columns before adding rules here!

Skip product with empty
If you want to avoid entries in the feed with empty values, you can skip them here.
This filter comes predefined with required columns for a google shopping feed: id, image_link, link and price. Any product, having any of the columns defined here empty, would be skipped.
This filter will apply at the end of Replace empty values rules, so that products with values from replace empty rules would still be in the feed.
If you can't find your column in the dropdown, it's because you haven't saved the new feed columns after the column has been added. A Save should solve it. (see Fig 7.9)

Adwords Price Buckets
This section allows you to define a set of rules to label your products based on price intervals, which will be mapped using Adwords price Buckets directive.
To specify the upper limit of your prices, just use some big number like 99999999. See below example image. (see Fig 8.0)

A common usage is to add a custom_label_0 column which is handy for running campaigns. (see Fig 8.1)
