Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained) • **Category:** [Listing Health](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Total Listings** is the count of every listing in your Target Plus catalogue regardless of status, spanning active, inactive, and suspended. It is the denominator against which the more pointed listing-health cards are read, so a count of active, out-of-stock, or rejected listings only means something relative to this total. On a curated, invite-only marketplace where Target manages assortment carefully, watching the total helps you confirm the catalogue size you expect actually matches what Target holds. | | | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | Every listing in the Target Plus catalogue across all statuses (active, inactive, suspended). | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Target Plus, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | It is the baseline denominator for active, out-of-stock, rejected, and stale-listing counts, so the other listing-health cards only make sense against it. | | **Reading the value** | Read it as a stable baseline; a sudden drop usually means listings were suspended or removed rather than simply going inactive. | | **Currency** | `count` | | **Time window** | `RT` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `tgt_total_listings` | | **Roles** | owner, operations | ## Calculation Vortex IQ counts every listing Target Plus holds for your partner account, summing active, inactive, and suspended listings into one live total. Status is ignored deliberately so the figure stays a stable denominator for the other listing-health cards. Because it is a descriptive baseline rather than a performance signal, it carries no alert threshold. See the worked example for how this reads on a typical partner. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Total Listings** for a typical Target Plus partner.* On 21 Jun 26 an outdoor-living partner sees Total Listings hold steady at 1,400, the catalogue size they expect. The same week the active-listings card reads 1,210 and out-of-stock reads 90, which only carries meaning because the total tells them roughly 86% of the catalogue is live and sellable. A few days later the total quietly drops to 1,355. Because the figure should be stable, the dip is the signal: 45 listings were suspended after a brand-presentation flag rather than simply going inactive. Vortex Mind traces the 45-listing drop to the suspension event, and Ask Viq answers "why did my total listing count fall this week" in plain English so operations can investigate the suspensions directly. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [`active-listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/active-listings) | The live, sellable share of the total catalogue. | | [`inactive-suspended-listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/inactive-suspended-listings) | Explains the gap between total and active counts. | | [`out-of-stock-listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/out-of-stock-listings) | Listings that count toward the total but cannot currently sell. | | [`stale-listings-180d-no-update`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/stale-listings-180d-no-update) | Uses the total as the denominator for its share-of-catalogue alert. | | [`listing-quality-score`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/listing-quality-score) | The quality lens across the same catalogue this total measures. | ## Reconciling against Target Plus Partners **Where to look in the Target Plus Partners portal:** Use the listing status views with the status filter cleared so all states are included, and cross-check against the most recent Mirakl feed import logs to confirm how many SKUs Target currently holds. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | --------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Period boundary | Either | The card is a live snapshot; a portal export taken earlier may predate recent additions or suspensions. | | Time zone | Either | Listing create and status-change timestamps use Target's reference time zone, which can shift a borderline listing across a day boundary. | | Filter scope | Portal may show fewer | A portal view often defaults to active listings only, so clear the status filter to match this card's all-status total. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** Compare the total against your BigCommerce source-of-truth SKU count to confirm the full assortment actually reached Target Plus, and against Walmart and Amazon to see where each channel's catalogue diverges. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does this number update?** It refreshes on the standard data refresh and reflects the live catalogue count across all listing statuses. **Q: Why does the Partners portal show a different total?** The portal usually defaults to active listings only. Clear the status filter so inactive and suspended listings are included to match this card's all-status total. **Q: How does this relate to its sibling cards?** It is the denominator: active, out-of-stock, rejected, and stale-listing counts are all read as a share of this total. **Q: Can I change the alert threshold?** This card ships without a default alert because it is a baseline count, but you can add a sensitivity rule per store on the Sensitivity tab to be notified of a sudden drop in the total. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Total Listings* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Target Plus and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
