How to do specific task with the files in Easy Populate Advance:
Example:
I have a previous inventory software that has already assigned product ID's they are
12001
15001
14
2000
These can be used by simply putting the in the v_product_id column. ie. A product_id must be a number, this is done so the admin products edit/add for will work.
A linked product is having one product record set, but having it show in multiple categories.
Note: the deleted item must be listed first. The product to remain must be list after the product link you are deleting.
In the spread sheet program
Removing columns in the spread sheet. Due to how EP is designed you do not need all of the column from the export file to be present in the import file.
Minimum Columns:
Caution: EP reads a product record set from you data base, then merges data from the import file. If the column you removed from the export file is not in this beginning query then that column will be removed from the data base.
Example: Previously if you removed one of the ultra images fields it would delete all data from that column in the products database.
Note this bug has been fixed for ultra images, but it is something to keep in mind when constructing new export files.
