Glossary of Terms

LauraG — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:45:17 GMT

I am looking for a glossary of terms for required fields when setting up a new item.

Display Unit Indicator, Ordering Unit Indicator, etc.

Also, if there are "quick sheets" for each area to understand the difference between different options. For example: Indicators section or Dates section.

Hello @LauraG and welcome back to the Community!

One of the most useful resources to start with is Current IM Participant Dictionary (IMPD)
It will help with definitions and examples of all attributes from Item Management.

For more details about indicators and an example of a common setup, you can find a useful article here: Unit Indicators in IM

Next, depending on which retailer(s) you need to publish your items to, you can check their specific attribute requirements and implementation guides here: https://1worldsync.com/trading-partners/

For additional Item Management resources, a great starting point is https://community.1worldsync.com/t5/IM-Knowledge/tkb-p/IMKnowledge

Please let us know if you are looking for anything else more specific so that we may help.

Thank you!

@Val The participant directory is not very useful - it is more of a data dump of what can be put into the system. The "Unit Indicators" link was more helpful. I would still like a glossary of terms - what does each value mean. For example, from what I've read, a "Consumer Indicator" indicates if a consumer can buy this GTIN. That is the type of "definition of terms" that I am looking for.

Hello @LauraG and thanks for your follow-up. In the IMPD, you can filter the attribute name in Column C and find the attribute definition in Column K. Although it is a very large spreadsheet with multiple tabs, I assure you it is not a data dump as it is managed by our [product teams for continual updates. We appreciate your feedback and I will share it with our Product team. Can you try the filter and definition in Column K and let me know if that helps?

Additionally, we created a Video to help customers leverage the IMPD.
