Data Dictionary for the Import Export Feature
Last updated over 6 years ago
If you're taking advantage of our import / export feature in Zentail, you probably realize how robust and powerful this tool can be. To help make it a bit easier to understand, we built in our Data Dictionary directly into the user interface. This allows you to understand what types of values are valid for a given attribute. You can view what type of values an attribute will accept while creating or editing a custom template. We incorporate three different types of attributes: Text, Select, and Boolean.
-
Text
- This means you can use a combination of numbers and letters. It is the most generic field we accept.
- Common attributes that use text are: Title, Description, Price
-
Text with Units
- This means the field is a text field but likely has a corresponding Select field. This is most often displayed as "Uom" (short for Unit of measurement). When you add a Text with Units attribute to your template, we recommend adding the corresponding "Uom" attribute immediately afterwards.
- Common attributes that use Text with Units are: Unit Count, Display Length, Package Weight
-
Select
- This field only accepts specific values during an import. You can view the valid values for a field in the Edit Template page
- Common attributes that use select are: Department, Ebay Condition, Unit Count Uom
-
Boolean
- This field only accepts values that denote true or false.
- The valid values for a Boolean attribute are: 0, 1, true, false, t, f, T, F, TRUE, FALSE, yes, no, YES, NO, y, n
