Exporting a selection of information to a CSV is a simple process. You will have the option to export "All Data" or export for a specific Channel Template.

Changing asset filenames during export
Assets mapped to image attributes can have their filename changed to fit a predetermined format when exporting via that Channel Template.
Prerequisites:
The product assets you wish to export with updated Filenames require the following:
1) Assets must be assigned an Image Attribute in the detail view of the respective product. This includes assigning Images on Variant Details.
2) The formatting is case-sensitive and needs to match the options as listed below (note that they use the [ ] and not the {} brackets)
|
Formatting variables: These are the system options within the Canto PIM Product Hub
|
Assigning Mapped Attributes in a Changed Filename
You can also assign a mapped attribute by including the Attribute name in the brackets, i.e.,[Style Code]. You can add further naming conventions to the filename format by adding copy outside the brackets [ ] and separating with an _ (underscore)
|
Example: Sample format: AMAZON_[sku]_[Dimension 1 Name]_[Dimension 1 Value]_[Color] Sample filename: AMAZON_12345_Size_Small_Green |
|
Please note: A long attribute could make for a very long file name. [description] for example could have a lot of text. |
