Database Upload - Fields
If you are doing a database upload, there are several different kinds of data that you can deliver. Many of the fields simply accept text entry, like product name and description. Some are a numeric entry, for prices and weight. Others are check boxes or pull-down menus. In this case, you must be extremely careful to input the correct information, or your database upload will not be entirely successful. Unless noted, the default value is blank. Remember, if you are not changing it from the default, it is better to just leave that field out of your database upload altogether. The more fields you are including, the better the chance that you might make a typo and have to re-do the whole upload.
If you have any doubts about what kind of information goes in these fields, practice by adding a few products the long way using the "add new product" feature in the back office.
