Before beginning production on an editorial project, you’ll first need to import your products. This will allow your products to be available to be assigned to your project deliverables Below we’ve outlined the various ways to import product data into projects in Creative Force Editorial.
Note:
The maximum number of products that can be added to a project is 300.
Finding the Products Page
To find the products page, first, select your project within Editorial and navigate to the Components tab. From there you’ll want to select Products from the drop-down. This is where all existing products live as well as where you are able to import new products.
Adding New Products to a Project
There are four ways to add products to your project in Editorial
Paste Product Codes
File Upload
From Scan
From E-comm
Paste Product Codes
To use the Paste Product Codes method, simply paste a list of product codes copied from a spreadsheet or another list. Remember that each row should only contain a single product code.
File Upload
Similar to how you might upload products on the E-comm side of Creative Force. In Editorial you also have the option to upload a file with a list of product codes to be imported to your project. Simply browse or drag and drop the file into the upload box as seen below.
From Scan
If your studio is utilizing a data source where product information is being pulled into Creative Force, you have the option to upload products by scanning the product's barcode label or entering manually.
From E-comm
If your studio is utilizing the E-comm side of Creative Force you have the option to pull products over from E-comm into your projects in Editorial. Once selected, you will see a sidebar appear that shows a list of products available to be pulled into Editorial.
From this view you have the option to filter by a wide range of criteria. Once you have located the product(s) you’d like to add, simply drag and drop them into the Project Products box.
Using the three-view option icons at the top, you are able to view your products in a list, in a list with a thumbnail, or just as thumbnails.
From the actions menu, you also have the option to edit and remove products as well as update them from the data source.
