The ETIM app synchronises your Akeneo-environment with the ETIM classification standard. It allows you to set up all ETIM classes in Akeneo within a few clicks.
To be able to use the ETIM-app you need to have valid credentials for "Etim International" (https://www.etim-international.com) or "Ketenstandaard" (https://ketenstandaard.nl).
On the left bottom of your screen in the middleware you see a gear. Clicking here will take you to the settings page.
On the settings page you go to Connections. Here you have to create a new connection.
As a label you should select a meaningful name. The code will be suggested based on the name you chose. Type is OAuth token and the version you need to pick is ETIM API key.
When you click Save you will be able to provide the credentials. The Client id and the Client secret are provided by your ETIM organisation ("Etim International" or "Ketenstandaard").
Please don't forget to test your connection (right upper corner of the screen) and save it before you close the screen.
Once you have created the connection, you have to add it to your ETIM app. Therefore go to the Etim app and choose settings. In the box of linked connections you need to select the ETIM-connection you've just created.
On the tasks-page click +Create. The task type is fetch_etim_classes. You are free to choose a label and the code will be suggested based on that label.
In the parameters-section, you can decide what ETIM release should be fetched. You can choose between:
DYNAMIC (most commonly used)
ETIM-8.0
ETIM-9.0
ETIM-10.0
When your settings are complete, save your task. Now you can run it for the first time.
As you can see, all the classes that correspond with the release you selected have been fetched.
On the classes-page you can see all the fetched classes.
For each class you can see what features are part of it by clicking on features.
In the list of the classes you can use the searchbar to filter your list of classes based on the group, the class or even a feature. All classes that correspond to your filter, will be shown in the list.
You can select your classes manually or you can download the complete list into CSV, modify it to select your classes and upload it again. When you have selected your classes, don't forget to press save in the upper right corner.
When you click on Download ETIM classes, you get all the fetched ETIM-classes in a CSV-file. You can open this file in Excel and put 1 in the column "selected" for the classes that you want to sync.
When you drag your CSV file to the "Upload CSV"-box, the classes that you selected in your CSV-file will automatically be selected. Again, don't forget to press save in the upper right corner.
On the tasks-page click +Create. The task type is sync_etim_to_akeneo. You are free to choose a label and the code will be suggested based on that label.
In the parameters-section, you can decide what ETIM release should be synced. You can choose between:
DYNAMIC (most commonly used)
ETIM-8.0
ETIM-9.0
ETIM-10.0
You can also choose to use the ETIM-featuregroups to be created as attribute groups in Akeneo. If you don't check that box, all ETIM-attributes will be created in 1 generic ETIM-attribute group.
You can also choose how range attributes should be stored. By default they are stored as numeric / metric attributes (depending on their type). For Akeneo GE you have the option to create them as table attributes.
When your settings are complete, save your task. Now you can run it for the first time.
As you can see, all the classes that were selected in the app have been syned to Akeneo.
