New Enhancements To Product Imports in Apsona ShopAdmin

On July 30th 2010 Apsona.com released a new version of ShopAdmin for Zen Cart and osCommerce users. This release  includes several enhancements to product imports in particular, and to imports in general.  A short summary of the new release is below:

  • Simultaneously import categories and products from a single CSV data file (automatically creating the category hierarchy).
  • Update as well as import product records from the same CSV data file.
  • “Undo” an import:  Automatically create a filter that records the ids of the newly-imported records, so that you can quickly get to just those records, and undo import via Tools – Delete all.
  • Optionally check, when importing products, that all the Model values are distinct and do not occur. This feature is optional because some users specifically want to allow multiple model values.
  • Better handling of data validation errors in the database. This feature is optional because some users specifically want to allow multiple model values.

Current users need not do anything, these fixes will take effect automatically the next time they reload the Apsona ShopAdmin window. We hope you find the new enhancements useful and welcome all feedback.
