Attributes Code

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Sorry for all the noobness! So I have my file uploaded with all the colors I wanted for my products but I was not able to figure out a way to enter the "Attributes Code", the column in the database was not made available to me during mapping. Is there a way around this or will I be manually entering in the PC Control Panel for now?

	Ok, playing around with it more, I was able to upload my file via FTP (yes, I made sure to clear formats and everything under XLS and CVS extensions). Then used the wizard to upload my file. I am guessing, the answer is no I cannot just have the options columns only to update options and attributes, must I make a dummy item in order to enable this? Here are some screen shots. Excel sheet and columns - http://screencast.com/t/3YIwPnZDh Wizard results - http://screencast.com/t/ck5mXlzY2 Will update this as progress follows.

	Hello All! New to PC and new to the forum. I am trying to put together an XLS file for upload and I am not sure if I am understanding this correctly. I want to create a worksheet to upload my options and attributes for products. So I have columns from the template file found in the wiki in my sheet: Option 1 Attributes 1 Option 1 Requuired and this repeats to Option 5. For my first option (Color), am I correct that I add all the colors that I want in the Attributes 1 column? and would I add it like this? redblackbluewhitegray and so on? Also in the Apparel Add-on, there is a section for "Attribute Code" I would like to add shortened color codes, so that black would look like "blk" and so on, is there a way for me to do this in my XLS sheet? Do I add another column to my excel sheet named "Attribute Codes 1"? or something else? Again, I am new to PC so please forgive me if this is a repeat question but I was not able to find answers in this forum or the wiki. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! -Kim
