We are excited to announce our latest enhancement, Item View Variant Exports! Our goal with this new feature is to solve some of the pain points you may experience when exporting data from the Item View (such as duplicating rows to for each Product Colorway) and reducing any errors when importing data into other systems.
Key Benefits
Ability to export Item View reports three different ways:
With a row for each Product
With a row for each Product Colorway
With a row for Product, Colorway and Size
Leverage these reports to share critical data from Backbone to other systems, such as ERP, Bright Pearl, Shopify, JOOR, Nu Order and more
Reduce the manual process of reformatting product export reports
How to access the Variant Export
From the Global Navigation, click on the Item View module
From your Item View Library, click on any Item View instance
From within your Item View instance, click the 3 dot ellipses at the top right and choose Export to CSV
Select the detail level you wish to export in the modal:
Product
Product and Colorway
Product, Colorway and Size
The CSV will download to your computer
Using the Variant Export
Any search terms, filters, hidden columns and sort preferences you set in your Item View will be reflected in the CSV export
The option to export only one page of your Item View was removed; every export will now include all pages.
When you export at the Colorway level or the Colorway-Size level, every Swatch Attribute for the Colorways will be map to a dedicated column in the CSV
Name
Custom Code
Internal Code
External Code
When you export at the Product level, the Colorway data will be limited to the Name and Custom Code only.
Reports exported at the variant level (Product and Colorway OR Product, Colorway and Size) will have the Custom Field values repeated for each variants row
For example:
Shirt, Red, S: Country of Origin: China
Shirt, Red, M: Country of Origin: China
Shirt, Red, L: Country of Origin: China
Shirt, Red, XL: Country of Origin: China
