HOW TO UPDATE CUSTOM FIELDS

You can update any kind of Custom Field via the Update functionality.


The syntax for updating Custom Fields depends on what kind of Custom Field you want to update and what kind of data you have available.


For most Custom Fields you need to use the syntax CF:ID.


From the illustration above your syntax would be "CF:4711" in the header.

In the column, you will then enter the values you want for that Custom Field - say "11" since it is a Numeric one.


For Allowed Value Custom Fields (and Hierarchy Custom Fields) you can use two types of syntax.

The one just explained and one of type CFID:ID - let us look at two examples.


  • For the CF:ID your Column header would be "CF:12: and the value in the column would be "Yellow flag"
  • If instead you only have the Allowed ID to work with your syntax would be "CFID:12" in the header and in the column, you will then enter the ID - in this case, "3"

 

Remember:

  • Any Custom Fields must be added to the right of the Column "Extra text"
  • We advise that you do not use " " (space) in any of the IDs because it might cause problems if you have to integrate it with your ERP system.

Format for your Custom Fields of type "Date"

The date you enter in your Excel sheet will have to keep a specific format - so that it matches the date format in Delogue PLM.


Your dates will have to be like: dd-mmm-yyyy (e.g. 01-jan-2022)


HOW TO UPDATE PRICES

You can update certain Prices via the Update functionality. 

It is Prices of these types.

  • Currency
  • Number
  • Percentage

 

Please notice:

You can not update Formula Price fields or Item Prices - they will be ignored in the update.

The syntax for updating Prices are: P:REF - where the REF  is the Ref ID from Admin->Prices

Remember:

Any Prices must be added to the right of the Column "Extra text"
