Exporting the Product List

Go to File > Export Product List to export a list of products Fields exported can be set under File > Configuration Management > Inventory > Product Export.

Acctivate offers the functionality to export out a list of products along with their various data fields specified by the user. This can be helpful for exporting your product list to the webstore, or re-working fields to re-import your product list to make changes. The product list can be exported in two separate ways. For "Available on Web" products only or for the entire product list. 

One Time Setup

First, you’ll need to define which columns to include in the export file.  The export uses the Product data view, so you’ll have access to the product specification fields, and not their warehouse specific information or price codes (you will have access to the list price and type however.) You will only need to set up the fields to include one time in Configuration Management.

1. Open Configuration Manager from the main file menu

2. Select Product Export from the Inventory folder.

      1. When choosing the default location, you will also need to enter a default name for the file as well.

   2. Optionally choose to include column headers (field name)

   3. Optionally choose to "Only export "Available on Web" products" if you want to only export out your products that are marked as Available on Web.

4. Click Save and exit Configuration Manager.
