Exporting Filter Categories

Exporting Filter Categories information is a powerful way to extract as much or as little information as you would like from the portal. The exported data can also be used as part of the importing process, which will enable you to update large amounts of data at one time.

• Navigate to “Filter Categories” from the PIM section in the Portal
• Click the “Show / Hide Columns” icon

From the list, click the box to select the fields that you would like to export. If you are using this export to import data back into the portal, choose any columns you will need to import back into the portal. The below options can be helpful when working with Filter Category data.

• Code – needed if you will be reimporting data
• Name – helpful when looking at product data
• Position – controls the order of your filter categories on the customer side
• Order Values By – controls the order of the attributes within the filter category

• Go to “File”
• Select “Export”

• “Save as” dialogue box will appear
• Rename the filename if needed, then click “Save” to export the file

Note: If you are exporting a large amount of data, it may take a small amount of time to complete the export. The file will download and save to your computer.
