AI Smart Import
Get up to speed with Emporix by using AI Smart Import to transfer the data to the system.
The AI Smart Import feature simplifies the process of uploading and integrating data, allowing you to import information related to brands, categories, catalogs, products, prices, product media, availability, tax and product category assignment. Leveraging AI capabilities, it automatically maps the data from uploaded files to the data structure used in the Emporix system.
You can upload data in both JSON and CSV formats, with JSON serving as the source object format. Our Generate Mapping functionality activates the AI to transform and align all object data from the file format to the schemas required by Emporix, ensuring a seamless and accurate data import process. The feature also supports mixins for enhanced flexibility.
If you want to use sample data import, you should do so before configuring your tenant. This is because sample data requires a basic tenant configuration, including the main site, en language, and a standard tax class. This configuration is applied automatically during the sample data upload, so if you configure your tenant first, your settings may be overwritten during the data upload.
Use case examples
Overall sample data upload
As a customer, you want to explore sample data for your tenant configuration to see how your own data could be organized in the Management Dashboard.
Start AI Smart Import
Go to the AI Smart Import and choose Sample data import. This action adds sample data to your tenant for brands, categories, catalogs, products, prices, product media, availability, tax and product category assignment.
Review sample data
Check the respective nodes in your Management Dashboard and view the sample data that was uploaded.
When the sample data upload is finished, you see the Last import date column updated. Mapping is not applied as it relates to single data uploads and no import logs are kept. You can view the results of the sample data upload by going to relevant nodes in Management Dashboard.
Single data uploads
As a customer, you want to upload only the categories data to the Management Dashboard.
Choose data to import
In the AI Smart Import, you can see different objects that can be imported. To import categories data, choose the Go to arrow and open the Categories import view.
Upload data from a file
Choose Upload file and select your file containing the categories data you want to import. Check the examples of the files that can be uploaded for the AI:
Review source objects
When you upload the file, all the objects from the file are visible as the Source Objects. In this case the file held object data for 9 categories. Using the arrows in the Source Object field you can switch between different object categories.
Match objects
Choose Generate Mapping, this starts the transformation of the objects to match the object data schema used at Emporix.
Review transformations
In the Transformations field you can check which fields were changed.
For example: supercategoryId from the file data was transformed to parentId to match object schemas. You can check the transformations for all the uploaded categories. You can review the generated object mapping.
Save the mappings
To keep your object mapping choose Save. If you don't want to import the categories now, you can get back to the configuration at a later point and finish the process with the current mapping saved.
Import data
To import the categories as they are mapped, choose Import file. This creates the categories structure in the Emporix system.
Review logs
When the process is complete, you can also check the logs in the Import Logs tab.
Files samples to upload
With the AI import, you can upload data separately for products, catalogs, brands, categories, prices and availability. See the files in the table for the correct upload file format with mapping examples:
Import type: products with media
Import type: catalogs
Import type: brands
Import type: categories
Import type: prices
Import type: availability
Troubleshooting
If an error occurs during the import process, you can prompt the AI to correct the mapping, with up to five attempts allowed. If the issue persists, select Generate Mapping again to restart the mapping process.
To adjust object parameters, you can ask the AI to make specific changes using prompts such as:
Map the code field to the ID field.Add the FR language to every product if it's missing.Correct the mapping for the Snacks category.
This allows for precise customization and ensures accurate data handling.
