Understanding the Template:
The attribute import template consists of several columns, each serving a specific purpose:
Label: This column represents the name of the attribute. You can customize it according to your preferences, such as "Weight (lbs)", "MSRP", or "Brand Story".
Regions and Roles: These columns specify the regions and roles that have access to the attribute. Leaving them blank defaults to the system's default region and all roles, but you can customize them as needed.
Value Type: Choose the appropriate value type for the attribute from options.
Value type options are:Boolean can only hold “Yes” or “No” data.
Date data is in MM/DD/YYYY format.
List is a bullet type that can be used for multiple descriptions of the collection folder/product.
Number is for labels that contains numeric data such as SRP, Serial Numbers, etc. This value type does not allow punctuation or symbols.
Pick List is for when you want specific options to be available. If selected, an area for adding what your desired options in your pick list will appear.
Text is for labels that contains alphabet data such as Name, Description, Instructions and more. Alphabet, numbers, punctuation, and symbols are allowed here.
Options: If you select pick list as the value type, use this column to specify the options available for selection.
Attribute Group: Optionally, you can associate the attribute with a specific attribute group for better organization. For more information on Attribute Groups please refer to this article.
Importing the Template:
Navigate to "Settings" from the menu on the left, then "Open Folder Settings", and "Attributes".
Locate the "Import" option. Here, you can upload the downloaded CSV or Excel file containing your attribute data.
During the import process, you may need to correct any errors that appear in PXM. The system will show a little red stop sign next to anything that is flagged, and it will give you the option to correct it or delete the row.
Once the file is clean and ready to import, select the “Import” button on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. PXM will create the new attributes based on the data in your template.
