Import file
Before importing, you first need to create a correctly formatted CSV file. It is especially important to use the correct field names in the header.The field names in the header have two parts, the name and the ID. The name corresponds to the name of the fields in the product detail view. You can modify this name if necessary. The internal names (IDs) are enclosed in square brackets and must never be changed. You can also interchange columns, as long as each column keeps its own heading.The following rules are applied to the values in the import file:
- If a column in the import file is not available, the values in the database will not be changed.
- If a column of the import file is available and does not contain values for one or more records, the respective entries are deleted from the database.
- If a column in the import file exists and contains entries, the corresponding data is replaced in the database by the data from the file.
The various fields have the following meaning for the import:Table 3: Parameters for importing product data
When all the parameters have been set correctly, start the import by clicking Import. If problems occur during import, you will receive a relevant message. In the case of large files, the total number of errors is limited to 100 error messages.
