Icecat PIM 2.3.4: Support for Delta Import

Icecat PIM 2.3.4 is now live. What are the new features and improvements of the Icecat PIM 2.3.4 version? Below, you can find the full release notes.

The previous Icecat PIM release includes improved exports, logging, and enriching products of brands and categories.

Delta CSV import

Per this release, it is possible to only import changed product data. With such delta imports, you can apply only these changes to your imported catalog. Before this release, all information had to be re-imported every time, even if only a minor change was made. Now you only import the changed product data sheets, and the rest will remain the same. This makes importing a lot faster.

Apart from the delta and full import options, Icecat PIM has many other import options including using a dedicated API. If you are still using the full-import method via CSV, please request us to optimize the import type to your needs.

Create prefilters using category conversions

If you now go to the category conversions page in Icecat PIM, you can add here a pre-filter. Therefore, you do not have to go to the “prefilter page” separately to add such a selection filter. Now, this can be set simultaneously with category conversions. This makes it simpler and easier for the user.

In the image below, the prefilter option is shown in the lower right corner with a blue square around it.

Restock date for Magento

We added a restock date field, which is useful for Magento CSV imports. Thanks to this addition, you can see exactly when a product is back in stock. If the stock is 0 and the product is not available, a back-in-stock date will automatically be displayed. Now you know exactly when you can re-order the product. It is also possible to use the restock field in a selection filter. For example, you can set a filter for products that are back in stock within two days. In this way, you can make a good overview of when the products are in stock again.

You can see the restock date range option in the filter options. The product list automatically shows the restock date next to any item with a stock level of 0.

PDF files tab on the product edit page

Further, it is now possible to view the PDF of the product content provider Icecat in Icecat PIM. You can see this PDF on the product edit page. In this way, you know exactly which product content is enriched by Icecat.

The PDF button can be found on the product edit page. In the image below I have circled the PDF button.
