AI Smart Import

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.

Prerequisites

To use AI Smart Import in Emporix Management Dashboard, add the AI Smart Import extension - https://emporix-ai-import.web.app/ in the Management Dashboard -> Administration -> Extensions node.

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.

1. 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.

2. Check the respective nodes in your Management Dashboard and view the sample data that was uploaded.

Single data uploads

As a customer, you want to upload only the categories data to the Management Dashboard.

1. 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.

   
2. 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:

1. 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.

   
2. Choose Generate Mapping, this starts the transformation of the objects to match the object data schema used at Emporix.

3. 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.

   
4. 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.

1. To import the categories as they are mapped, choose Import file. This creates the categories structure in the Emporix system.

2. 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.
