Data sources - settings

A Data Source is for example the range of products (the product data) of a supplier. Product data of your suppliers can be imported into separate data sources, edited and saved. Always enter a unique name for every data source. If more than one data source is available; a selection menu - which allows switching between different data sources - appears at the top. Unique names ease the selection of the right Data Source.

Data Source edit/create

You can select edit actions for every existing Data Source by clicking on the Action button next to it. The Create Data Source button at the bottom allows you - to create new Data Sources.

Overview

In each data pool always one data source is active by default. In the Data Source menu at the top, you can select the data source with which you want to work (this menu is only visible when at least 2 data sources are created). Each data source in turn may be associated with different interfaces, cron jobs and templates, etc. Example:

Data Source 1: Car Parts (Activ!)

Data Source 2: Jewelry

Data Source 3: Office Furniture

Jede Datenquelle kann auch mehrere Interne Kategorien beinhalten, Beispiel Datenquelle 1: Each Data Source can have several Internal Categories, i.E. Data Sorce 1:

Car parts with the categories: Mercedes, Audi, BMW

After activating an interface, for example Gambio, you can define 3 export files which you assign to each of the matching internal category Mercedes, Audi or BMW. This way it is also possible to manage multiple suppliers in one data source. Whatever method you prefer is up to you. The number of currently possible data sources is limited to 10.

Particularities

Hinweise zur Datenquelle GALLAY und wie Sie unsere Produktdaten importieren und nutzen können:

Variante 1

Importieren Sie die Daten per Link aus csv4you.de. Dort muss die individuelle Schnittstelle csv4you.com aktiviert und eingerichtet sein.

Variante 2

Richten Sie in csv4you.com eine neue Datenquelle ein und markieren Sie beim Anlegen der Datenquelle im Feld 'Art und Herkunft der Daten': Vorhandene Anbieterdaten nutzen

Welche Form des Einlesens Sie bevorzugen bleibt natürlich Ihnen überlassen. In Variante 1 können Sie etwas flexibler mit den Daten umgehen. Bei Variante 2 werden alle Produkte und Kategorien automatisch mit Updates versorgt (aktuell: Produktdaten 3x täglich, Bestände stündlich).
