File Types

Data File Format

  • .xlsx and .csv are the preferred file types. PDF, PowerPoint, and Word docs files are not able to be imported.

Image File Format

  • .jpg and .png are the preferred file types for images. URLs to image links is the ideal

3D File Format

  • .glb files are the preferred file type for 3D images.

File Layout

  • Each row represents one product

  • Products with components need to be represented in their own row. For example, a table that is comprised of a base and top, needs to have a row and model number identifying the complete table.

  • Each column represents the same information for each product

Common Problems

  • Spreadsheet formatted for print

  • Columns with inconsistent purpose

  • Information spread across multiple tabs

  • Merged cells

  • Extra images, logos, and information included that are not relevant to the product in the row

  • Not including all products in a line-up. We use our data tools to discontinue products that are not included in the file. If products are missing from a file, they may be incorrectly discontinued. This also includes component products. If a file does not have components in their own separate row, they will not be identified and will be discontinued.
