Ingest product format data
- Tim Peterson
Create a new Google Doc spreadsheet using the product formats template (See menu item: File > Make a Copy…). Name the new file as you deem necessary, but omit spaces (e.g., product_formats-YYYYMMDD where YYYYMMDD is today's date).
Assign new isbns to the new product formats. They will be placed in the "isbn" column of the new file.
Copy/paste data from the pre-existing product format into new product formats file. The pre-existing format ISBN should be pasted into the "associated isbn" column. Notes:
If the release date is in the future, then the status must be set to NYP
Remove blank rows from the bottom of the file
Avoid carriage returns in description and annotation fields
When the new file is complete, download the data as a CSV file to your local machine. Follow the same naming convention as in step 1, but add a ".csv" extension (e.g., product_formats-YYYYMMDD.csv).
Create a new ingestion through the website admin. Be certain to select Product Formats from the "Type" drop-down menu.
