In this tutorial, we will learn how to specify downloadable products on a large scale using the batch product tools.
This functionality utilises the Upload Folders area of Infigo. Assets you wish to assign as downloadable products are added to this folder, then the batch product tool is used to assign particular assets to particular products.
We will begin by selecting or creating an Upload Folder. This folder will act as the recipient for all of our downloadable file assets which we wish to assign to our products.
If you do not wish to automatically upload downloadable file assets, you will not need to complete this section and can skip to downloading the batch Excel file.

The downloaded Excel sheet will contain a high quantity of information related to your products.
Contained within these columns are the options related to configuring downloadable products.
Whilst this sheet allows you to modify your already created products, you can also use it to create brand new products within Infigo. Simply create new rows, completing the information you consider critical to those products. Remember to leave the ProductID blank. This is the unique identifier which determines whether a product will be updated or created.
More detailed resources on the product batch upload tool and its capabilities can be found on the Infigo Academy.

Bring up the find and replace window using Ctrl+F. It is recommended to search for a term such as "download".
You will find that the downloadable product settings are not all grouped together and are spread throughout the template.

If you are wishing to auto-upload related assets from the Upload Folders in Infigo, you will need to create additional columns at the end of the Excel template.
These columns are designed to handle both regular and sample downloadable files.
There are two types of columns you can use:
1.URL Columns: “DownloadUrl”: Use this column to provide a direct URL to the downloadable file. “SampleDownloadUrl”: Use this column to provide a direct URL to the sample downloadable file.
2.Asset Columns: “DownloadAsset”: Use this column to specify the relative file location from the upload location for the downloadable file. “SampleDownloadAsset”: Use this column to specify the relative file location from the upload location for the sample downloadable file.
Important Note: You cannot set both the URL and Asset values simultaneously for the same row. Choose either the URL option or the Asset option, or leave both empty if not applicable.

For Download Assets, the name should match a file in the Upload Folder you have selected.
If the file is in the root Upload Folder, you do not need to specify the name of the upload folder itself.
For example, if your file "Sample.pdf" is located in the "Root" Upload Folder, all you will need to specify in the Excel sheet is "Sample.pdf". This is due to the fact that an Upload Folder is selected during the batch import process.

Identifying assets within the batch upload Excel sheet is slightly different when they are located in sub folders.
The subfolder name needs to be identified before the filename itself.
For example, if a file named "Sample.pdf" is located in the "RootFolder/SubFolder" directory, you will need to enter "SubFolder/Sample.pdf" in the batch product sheet.
