Defining Fields for the PDW Mass Product Export Screen

Each time you use the PDW Mass Product Export utility, use the PDW Mass Product Export Screen Layout Editor to identify fields from the Product Data Warehouse (PDW) Catalog whose metadata values you want to display on the PDW Mass Product Export screen. These fields assist you in selecting correct products to export on the PDW Mass Product Export screen.

For example: If you define a catalog number as a field for the PDW Mass Product Export screen, then you can identify the products you are exporting by the catalog number displayed on the PDW Mass Product Export screen.

The fields you define appear to the right of the first two fields for the index and UPC codes on the PDW Mass Product Export screen.

The PDW Mass Product Export screen provides 63 character spaces for the fields. The sum of the widths of the defined fields and the column rules between each field must be less than or equal to 63. If the total number of characters exceeds 63, then the data in the last field truncates.

Note: Each column rule takes up one character, and the system enters column rules between each field.

From the Tools > Product Data Warehouse (PDW)> PDW Mass Product Exports menu, select PDW Mass Export to display PDW Mass Export window.
