I have forgotten one more thing.

Assuming I am passing the UserID as a parameter on the feed, it will also take into account the assortment of that User?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I tried an alternative, creating a PIM > Feed and, in the Context options, configuring a user with has special prices for all shops (the special price is a product discount for that user). See the attached image.

Sorry to say but this alternative doesn't work neither.

Tomas

Hi Tomas,

Thank you for trying.

I should probably wait for some official guidance on this request as it seems to require some configuring.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Live Attributes, like Price & Stock, was a part of the Feeds improvement in DW9.9 ..

Please upgrade your solution to current version of DW9.9

Hi Soren,

I imagined it would require update.

What about the Assortments? Will they be honored?

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

But the function "Assortments" are only working in Ecommerce area, so I don't think you can use that ..

Hi Soren,

I understand that it usually works in Ecommerce. Live pricing is also an Ecommerce related feature. It has nothing to do with PIM.

It just seems natural that a user specific feed should honor live pricing and Assortments. In the end, that's why you would define it "User specific".

And I am not making up issues. This was actually requested by 3 of our B2B customers.

Don't you agree?

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Agree ..

That's also why it's implemented in our newest version of PIM Channels/Feeds.

Assortments are not a part of that implementation, but if it is a need from the market, we can look into it ..

Thank you Soren.

I'd say it makes sense looking into it.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Søren,

Any news regarding assortments in PIM feeds based on the selected user?

Hi Thomas,

We are working on a release-fix to solve it 

/Søren

Hi Søren,

Did this end up getting added? We have a customer requesting the same feature.

Thank you for your time

Hi Lasse,
 

Yes, picking user for a feed has been implemented.

Hi Morten,

Perfect thank you. What varsion of DW do i need? Right now i am not getting the assortment based on the selected user. Is there a setting i might be missing somewhere?

Bump!
We also have problems getting live price from the PIM feed.
Please let us know which version of DW is needed.

Hi,

Just to clearify the comunication in this thread the last month..

Price matrix, related to user account, are supported in our Feeds setup with defining a User

Assortments are not supportin our Feeds, and I'm wondering why you need that ..

Could some of you, describe a "Use case" for this senario, where that are needed

Thanks in advance

Hi Soren,

In my case, I have customers assigned to Assortments, limiting the products they can see.

That's why when a feed is assigned to a user, the logic should also pick up the Assortment(s) of that user and allow me to filter the feed without asking the user to log in.

Does it make sense?

Thank you,
Adrian

Dear Søren & Adrian,

We have the exact same need for the assortment part. So I really hope that it can be supported as I will expect it to take the user into account.

Best regards, Anders

I concur with Anders and Adrian

Common situations where assortments are needed is often:

•  Private Label products + "Common" products for all
• Selling both to B2B and B2C
  • B2B Preordering products before release for B2C 
  • Only sharing e.g. B2C ready products with external Shops 
• Having a mix of Products - some sold everywhere and others only sold in specific Country or Region

:-) Anett

Anett is descriping the case im working on perfectly.

We have a B2B customer that sells a mix of white label and shared products.

They have promised their customers individual, updating product catalogs, where they can see their branded products.

Until Assortments in feeds are supported, this is a workaround

Create a custom marcro with the follwing code and use that as a parameter in the feed query


 

else if (action == "Feed_UserAssortmentIDs")
            {
                List<string> _return = new List<string>();

                string EncryptedUserID = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Dynamicweb.Context.Current.Request.GetString("UserId"));
                if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(EncryptedUserID))
                    return _return;

                int UserID = 0;

                int.TryParse(Crypto.Decrypt(EncryptedUserID), out UserID);

                if (UserID == 0)
                    return _return;

                var User = Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.GetUserByID(UserID);

                if (User == null)
                    return _return;
                
                _return =  Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Assortments.GetAssortmentIdsByUser(User, Dynamicweb.Context.Current.Request.GetString("languageId"), true).ToList();

                return _return;
            }

Thank you very much, Thomas.

It's a very useful workaround.
