Import

General

There is a lot of data in Ecmanage that can have an influence on the operation of the system. All this data can be added via administration screens, but it is easier to enter data in bulk, or set up multiple environments with the same data.

Why XML and not Excel directly? The intermediate step to XML has many technical advantages. For example, it is easier for these files to be processed by an application. This XML file can also be made by other applications. It may also be possible to make an export of your current system into XML format and convert this file to the XML format required by Ecmanage.

The advantage of using Excel is that for you as a user, it is a simple and easy-to-understand method to collect data. As far as the application is concerned, every version of Excel is different, which means it is not yet possible for us to process Excel files directly.

To be able to start you must log in to the customer environment:

http://supplier.ecmanage.co.uk/customer

In this respect, “supplier” is the same as the name provided with the purchase of Ecmanage. And “customer” is the same as the company code entered when creating the customer environment.

You will then enter the log-in screen of the customer environment. Log in as a user who has the authority to manage master data. By default, these are the customer admin and supplier admin roles.

In principle, anyone with access to the page with the import module can import data. However, the moment someone becomes part of a department, they are limited to the data available within that department or underlying departments. The chapters in this document go into more detail per import sheet.

Create XML files

Excel import templates can be downloaded via the Ecmanage wiki:

https://wiki.ecmanage.nl/nl/downloads/importsheets/index.html

In these Excel files, the columns are linked to XML schematics to ensure the Excel files can be saved as XML.

When making changes to the file, the structure of the table must remain intact. The first line in each document describes which field is linked to each column. These texts can be changed if required. These lines also contain a tool tip with explanations for each column. This is displayed as soon as you hover the mouse over the field.

An example of a tooltip is shown below:

Once the Excel file is filled with the desired data, it must be saved as an XML file so it can be offered to Ecmanage.

Saving the XML data in Excel is different for each version and language, but often comes down to the same process: Save as XML Data.

For Office 2013 in English, it looks like this:

During the save, a warning will be displayed to say the formatting will be lost. This is exactly the intention for the XML file that we generate. Choose Continue.

Always save the file as an Excel Workbook as well. You will then have a backup to use for changes later.

An .xml file is created after saving. If you open it with a word processor, you will see the content and it will look something like this:

Importing XML files into Ecmanage

After the XML files have been generated, they must be offered to Ecmanage so the system can process the data.

Go to the customer environment where the data should be added to Maintenance >> Import data:

Select the XML file and choose whether the file should be imported at file level or line level:

File

All changes to the file are only saved if all the data in the file is valid. If there is only one line that causes an error message, everything will be returned to the original state.

Line

All valid lines in the file are saved, and all lines containing an error message will be ignored and, therefore, not implemented.

Then press Import to offer the file. This is listed below in the import list:

The empty bar and the clock () on the left shows that this import is on hold. The system periodically checks for import files that are on hold; it will only process a maximum of 1 at a time, and these will be imported in the order of the date of the import for each customer environment.

As soon as the system picks up the import, the clock will change into a gearwheel () to show that it is busy. During this process, the system will keep track of the progress. By going back to the Import page again, or by clicking on “Refresh import list”, you can retrieve the status and you see how far it is using the bar and the percentage figure.

By clicking on the -icon, you can request the XML that is being/will be used. Once the import has been processed, there are 4 possible results:

• The entire import has been processed successfully. The gearwheel changes to a green check mark () and the bar will be completely green

• Part of the import has been processed successfully (by importing the import as “Line level” with errors). The gearwheel then changes to a yellow check mark () and the bar will be completely green

• The import failed and returned to the original state, no data was processed. The gearwheel changes into a red minus sign () and the bar will be completely red

• A critical error occurred during import so all data has been returned to the original state. The gearwheel then changes to a red exclamation mark () and the bar will be completely red. In this case, something went wrong on the technical side and we recommend contacting the service desk.

Also, for the icon, 2 -icons will be visible:

• The result of the import can be viewed by clicking on this icon. If an import has gone wrong, a description of why it went wrong will be provided.

• By clicking on this icon, the date of the import will be reset and the import offered again. This is especially useful if the import went wrong due to data from another sheet being missing. After adding the missing data, you can add the import again, or simply try the import again using this icon.

The imports shown in the list can be decided with the help of the other selection fields. By default, the 25 latest imports are displayed.

Product images

It is possible to link images to products. During the time of ordering, the article can be clicked for more information. An image, if present, will then be displayed. You can also click on the image to zoom.

There are a number of important considerations to take into account for product images:

• The file format

• The dimensions

• The file name

Two options are valid for the file format: .jpg and .png. PLEASE NOTE: The system first looks for a .jpg, if this is not found, it will look for a .png. If a product has both .jpg and .png images, the .jpg will be shown.

The optimal dimensions for an ordinary product image are 200 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. If the image is larger, the system will reduce the image. As a result, the import will take a little longer and the quality of the image will not be guaranteed.

The file name of the image must match the product number of the product it belongs to. So for product with article number “TUG-101” the image must be named “TUG-101.jpg”. If the item number contains a character that is not valid in a file name (such as a slash) it can be replaced with a dash (_). So, for a product with article number “TUG-555/01” the image must be named “TUG-555_01.jpg”.

It is also possible to zoom in on the product screen in the order screen if an additional image has been imported. This works in the same way as normal images, only the file name is supplemented with “_L”. So, for a zoomed product image with item number “TUG-101”, the file name will be “TUG-101_L.jpg”.

This zoomed image is not automatically resized, please note that the larger the photo, the more detail, but also the longer it takes for the user to download it.

Importing images is carried out on the same screen as the import sheets themselves: Maintenance >> Import data. Click on “Product photos” at the top right.

Here you will see a screen that is similar to that for the import sheets. You can offer a file and process it:

The big exception is that you do not offer the images one by one, but all of them at the same time by putting them in a zip file and then uploading them. These images must be contained in the root folder of the zip file, not in a folder within the zip file.

The zip file is also immediately unpacked and processed, which means there is no import list applicable.
