CatalogEntryDescriptionOverride

Use the CatalogEntryDescriptionOverride keyword to load catalog entry description overrides for your extended site store.

Previously, you could load this data only in CSV formatted files. You can now load information in a CSV or XML formatted input file. Your input file must contain CSV column or XML element names and definitions that specify the characteristics of the business object type you are loading into your database.

Catalog entry description overrides provides you with the capability of overriding the catalog entry descriptions that are inherited from your asset store. By overriding the inherited catalog entry descriptions that you can create store specific catalog entry descriptions for display on your storefront.

CSV column and XML element definitions

CatalogEntryUniqueId
(Integer) The internal unique reference number of the catalog entry. Either this field or the PartNumber is required.
PartNumber
(String) The part number of the catalog entry. Either this field or the CatalogEntryUniqueId is required. The part number for a catalog entry displays in Management Center as the value for the catalog entry Code property. If the CatalogEntryUniqueId is available, it should be used instead of the PartNumber for better performance.
LanguageId
(Integer) The language ID for language-specific fields (Name, ShortDescription, LongDescription, AuxDescription1, AuxDescription2, Thumbnail, FullImage, Published, and Keyword). For instance:
  • -1 for English
  • -2 for French.
Name
(String) The language-specific display name of this catalog entry.
ShortDescription
(String) The language-specific short description of this catalog entry.
LongDescription
(String) The language-specific long description of this catalog entry.
Thumbnail
(String) The language-specific thumbnail image path of this catalog entry. For instance, images/thumbnails/G1preview.jpg.
AuxDescription1
(String) An additional language-specific description of this catalog entry.
FullImage
(String) The language-specific path to the full image of this catalog entry. For instance, images/G1.jpg. The path can be either a full path, or a relative path from your store directory.
AuxDescription2
(String) An additional language-specific description of this catalog entry.
Published
(Integer) Indicates whether this catalog entry displays on the storefront:
0
Do not display this catalog entry.
1
Display this catalog entry.
By default, you cannot override the asset store setting for the property Published. The property displays in Management Center as Display to customers. To override the asset store setting for this property, you must have IT personnel add support for overriding this property through configuration. For more information about this configuration option, see Enable publish override.
Note: If you add support for overriding this property, your override setting for this property might not work with all storefront search functionality. By default, the HCL Commerce search index includes all published and non-published catalog entries. This index is based on the catalog identifier and is shared by all stores that share the catalog. If you override this property for any catalog entry in a catalog, you cannot customize the shared search index to include only Published catalog entries for that catalog.
Keyword
(String) A language-specific keyword that is used for searching. If you are using a plain text editor and you want to include multiple keywords, which are separated by commas, include the entire string in double quotation marks. For instance, "keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword3". If you are using a spreadsheet editor, it is not necessary to include the entire string in double quotation marks.
Field1
(Integer) A customized field for your catalog entry data.
Field2
(String) A customized field for your catalog entry data.
Field3
(String) A customized field for your catalog entry data.
