Hi guys,

I have a project where I need to allow product editing for some external users.

And I was wondering if there is any way I can use the Import/Export functionality from PIM in front-end.

And by this I mean:

1. Export products from a list (probably with a predefined list of Fields or with all fields of the product and product category)

2. Import products based on an excel file

3. Expose Completeness status of each product in Product list

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

The import/export functionality from PIM is not built for being used in the frontend, so the actual dialog and UI, I don't see a way to get working on the frontend. But with that said, the import/export in PIM is just implemented using the DataIntegration, so there's nothing fancy there except some additional UI, so maybe there's a way where you can use the DataIntegration from the frontend, so you can archive the same.

Best regards,

Steffen

Hi Adrian,

You could probably also solve this with Permissions - and only allow the limited users access to very select parts of the system.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your suggestions.

@Carsten I have considered this option but the issue is that I need to set permissions on the products. These users will have to get access only to a limited list of products. That;s why I was thinking about the Import/Export part from the front-end.

@Steffen I will have to dig more into how I can initiate a DataIntegration job from the front-end and maybe apply a predefined Job configuration on the fly.

Thank you,

Adrian
