PIM Workflow Settings

There are several ways to work with product data in the PIM Portal. One way is to use the Kodaris PIM system to help organize and keep track of large amounts of data. The PIM system is entirely customizable and can be adjusted to fit your workflow. If you are unable to access settings, please check with your team lead or Kodaris support for the required permissions.

Where are PIM Settings?

• Navigate to “Settings” under the System section in the Portal

Updating PIM Settings

• Use the search field to find settings
• Choose the setting that you would like to update by selecting the edit icon
  • PIM Status = pimStatus
  • PIM Categories = pimCategories
  • PIM Category Status = pimCategoryStatuses
  • PIM Attribute Status = pimAttributeStatuses
  • PIM Reason = pimReasons

Update the value with the desired terms – these could be based on the workflow outlined here, or you can create your workflow. The below values are only examples.

PIM Status – this outlines the flow of updating individual product data

• ADDED,UPDATE,DO NOT UPDATE,QA1,QA2,COMPLETE,CLARIFICATION

PIM Categories - these can be set up as product buckets. These values are only seen internally by your team and can help maintain large amounts of product data in the portal. An example would be to create product buckets relating to your high-level commerce categories or specialty buckets.

• LUMBER,ELECTRICAL,POWER TOOLS,SPECIAL REQUEST,HIGH PRIORITY, etc.

PIM Category Status – this outlines the flow of updating product categories

• ADDED,UPDATE,QA,COMPLETE,CLARIFICATION

PIM Attribute Status – this could outline the flow of updating product attributes

• ADDED,UPDATE,QA,COMPLETE,CLARIFICATION

PIM Reason – this could be a high-level list of values that refer to why a product has moved to a specific status

• NOT FOUND,INACTIVE,WAITING INFO,DONE, etc

Note: These values must be formatted in all caps and comma-separated without spaces. Once finished updating values, it will take about 5 minutes to sync the change.

Values can be added at any time – though if you make changes to existing values, the products with the previous value will need to be updated with the new value.

Viewing PIM Status After Updating PIM Settings

The updated settings can be viewed by clicking into a cell in a selected status column - status columns can be viewed in the Data, Category Assignment, and Attribute Assignment tabs.
