Variables & Mole End Mash

[Jan]

The product records contain a product ID which can be linked to the product group name in the database, it's not a difficult piece of information to get hold of but until now, no one has needed it.

The replaceable macros in the mash (the !!name!!) ones are all defined in the program, so what we need to do is to define a new one and allow the program to populate it.

Help help mole end variables

I am so sorry to seem naive.

We have recently purchased your mole end feed software and are wanting to implement it for most of the shopping feeds.

My problem is....i really dont know how to make a variable and custom field in actinic for all the requirements.

I got actinic to talk me through putting on 'condition' several months ago...which was easy enough.

I have since included a variable for brand. However, i have noticed that i have to fill in each field for every product.

Does this apply to any other variables i may put in....ie barcode etc

I have noticed the custom vars mentioned in the mole end manual...but i am not quite sure how to implement it.

PLEASE HELP

I AM PREPARED TO PAY FOR YOUR ADVICE AND HELP

You will have to populate the fields (variables) for each product as each may need to be different. You can how ever do this in bulk after creating the variables using an hierarchical import. Set up a product with all the data then export the catalog, open it in Excel and you will see the structure. The product variables will be at the end of the product rows. Edit the values as you wish in Excel then import the hierarchical file back in. Remember to backup well first.

This mole end knowledgebase article explains how to setup variables in Actinic and the product mash.

When you set up the variable in Actinic you can specify that it can be set in products, sections and site, if you do this then if you have a section that contains products with the same brand then you can enter the brand at section level and the products will pick it up. You can also set a default value for a custom variable so if you have a lot of products from the same brand you can set that brand as the default.
