Uploading XML Files

By following these steps, you will be able to upload XML files into the system.

Step 1: Preparing and Uploading Files​

  1. Select File Type: Make sure the file type selected is XML.
  2. Upload Files: Drag and drop one or more XML files into the corresponding field. For example, you can upload a product file and a price file. You can also add images or other files. Note that the order of uploading matters: the main product file should be uploaded first.
  3. Specify Data Locations: For each file, indicate where the data is located. The system will automatically split the files into tables based on attribute sets.
  4. Working with Tables:
    • Each table represents a set with a specified number of records.
    • If keys and values are swapped, use the reverse function.
    • For catalogs with nested categories, specify where the categories are located and which column to search for them. If necessary, set a regular expression (by default, the search is configured for uuid).
    • Remove unnecessary attributes. Attributes present in all sets are highlighted in green and can be used to merge sets.
    • Remove non-essential parameters for merging groups of products. For example, if all tables have name, SKU, and category, and the other attributes are not needed, remove them to obtain a single merged set.

Step 2: Configuring Attributes​

  1. Selecting and Editing Attributes:
    • In the first table, select the attributes, edit their names and markers.
    • For the "Category" field, specify the need to build a category tree.
    • Set types for other attributes:
      • "Color" — type "list".
      • "Description" — type "text".
      • Image — type "image". Specify the path to the image and select a preview template.
    • Explicitly mark "Name" as the product name and "SKU" as SKU.
  2. Linking Tables: Link the tables by SKU to obtain prices from another file. Repeat the actions for the second and third tables.
  3. Configuring the Price Table:
    • Set the type "Float" for the price field.
    • Mark it as the product price.

Step 3: Selecting a Category for Upload​

Determine the category into which the data will be uploaded.

Step 4: Starting the Import​

  1. Checking Records: At this step, the number of records to be added is displayed.
  2. Starting the Process: Click the import start button.
  3. Result: After the process is complete, ensure that:
    • Categories and subcategories have been created.
    • Data has been indexed.
    • Images have been successfully uploaded.
    • All products are placed according to the structure.
    • Attributes are filled in correctly.
