Product Import - parameters and CSV upload

When uploading products via a csv file, operations containing parameters can be included along with the ‘answer’ to the parameter.
From ‘Factory Capabilities’ under ‘Upload Factory Capabilities’:




When you export the ‘Empty Product CSV’:


We have included ‘FinishParam’ fields to SectionFinishing and JobFinishing by default
(you can also manually add Finishparam columns for every type of finishing - front,back,section,job,section child, job child)



To use these fields in the csv, the format is key value pairs e.g. {ParamName}:{ParamValue} or Diecut Number Up:4


In the above example the name of the operation ‘MACH DIECUT Nup’ is added to the ‘SectionFinish’ field:


The parameter ‘Job Operation Name’ is added to the ‘FinishParam’ filed along with ‘:’ followed by the ‘answer’:




You can add additional new columns for "FinishParam" immediately after the "SectionFinish" "JobFinish" "BackFinish" etc operation name columns.
This will assign parameters to the operation preceding it.
Optionally you can specify more than one key value pair separated by semicolons 
e.g. Test Param 1:25;Test Param 2:30
