Import file - Product Template field

[SarahPris]

I'm having success with importing my product list into Actinic, with the exception of the Product Template field. I'm importing it with the heading of
Product Template and the data per product of:
One product per row, image on left

Without this field, the rest of the details for each product import absolutely fine.

Have I used the wrong format for either the column/heading name or for the data? I also tried using the digit 5 as I want the 5th option of the product templates, but that didn't work either.

Interestingly, the "View Errors" box is always greyed out when I import a file and the import or part thereof falls over. Does anyone know why this would be? I've figured out what the problems have been by trial and error anyway, but why isn't Actinic telling me what they are?

Hi,

The correct heading is 'Product template' and you will have to enter the name of the template which in this case is 'Act_ProductLine.html' which has a layout of 'One product per row, image on left'. If you choose an alternate layout from the dropdown on the product, click on apply and then click on 'Edit' against the layout name and that will open the corresponding template for the layout chosen.

You can see an example of this if you look in C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1\Common\SampleFlatImportFile.csv

Kind regards,

I have succesfully put over my product file to the catalogue BUT

The product layout has used a a default No image laid in row

I want image on the left

Is there a quick way of changing the product layout automatically
