Adding Catalogs 

The CSV Upload tool allows you to add multiple Catalogs at once. To add new Catalogs, select Create Catalogs.

NOTE: You cannot upload a file that contains a combination of new and existing Catalogs.

 

Preparing your Catalog File

To begin, you will create a CSV file. When creating new Catalogs, the CSV file must contain the following required headers:

 
  • name

Include the headers for all optional fields you'd like to update:

 
  • scannable
    • Set to 'True' to enable barcode scanning for this catalog. If no value is provided, it will default to 'False'
  • dynamic*
    • Set to 'True' to enable automatic catalog scoping by a shared place-catalog item property. If set to 'True', you must provide a valid property for 'dynamic_property_name'. If no value is provided, it will default to 'False'
  • dynamic_property_name*
    • Only provide a value if the 'dynamic' field is set to 'True'
  • status
    • Activate or deactivate this catalog. Choose from values: 'Active' or 'Inactive'. If no value is provided, it will default to 'Active'
* The "dynamic" and "dynamic_property_name" fields won't be available to everyone. Those fields will only show up as available if the company has at least 1 property that is shared between catalog items and places. Speak with your Customer Success Manager if you have questions.
TIP: For help getting the column headers just right, you can download an Example CSV to start from.

Uploading Your New Catalog CSV File

  • When you are ready to upload your CSV file, click Choose.
  • Select the file you want to upload, and then click Open > Next.

Select the file you want to want to upload. The system verifies the columns provided in your CSV file.

Prior to processing your file, you are able to review the data to be uploaded one last time. From this location, you can edit each column as needed, start the process over, or proceed to processing the CSV.
