Import: Create and Update Profiles
When working constantly with Imports, we might find time consuming to configure our import settings and map our excel columns all over again every time we want to import information.
In the following manual we will explain how to create profiles for your imports: by doing this, you only need to establish the configuration once, save it and then select your import profile next time you import the same kind of information.
1. Click on New import
2. Select the import you want to
3. Click on Upload and Select your import file
4. This is how my excel preview looks like (without any further configuration)
5. Now, I continue filling mandatory fields
6. And further details (based on your excel and preferences)
7. Click on Match attributes / column
8. Add manually further columns which were not mapped automatically when clicking on Match
This happens when the name of your header is different from the internal name in ONE
9. Now we have our import all configured.
At this point we could just click on Import, but if we want to use the same excel template in the future, we might want to save this configuration in the shape of an Import profile
Create Import Profile
10. Click on New profile
11. Provide a name which will help you to identify the import configuration behind the profile
12. After saving, you will get Import profile saved successfully
13. You will see the name of profile on the top of the Match attributes / column menu
14. For testing purposes, we will redo the whole import process again but this time we will select our import profile
15. Click on New import and select again the import you wanted to carry on
16. Upload again your file
Use existing Import Profile
17. Click on Select importing profile
18. Click on Tie Rod - Complete Update attributes and Status
At this point you can already see the Product group, Brand and Region involved.
You can also select a profile created by another user.
19. As you can see, our previous configuration saved in the profile gets automatically populated
Update existing Import Profile
We can also adjust our profile if we no longer want to include for example a specific field
20. Remove (or add!) further columns
You can also change the Brand or Region
21. Since the import configuration has changed, you will get a warning
22. Click on Update profile to update or your profile
You could also click on New Profile and keep the old profile and create a new one.
You will not be able to update profiles which have not been created by you.
23. A confirmation message will show once the profile is updated
