Exporting Data from the PIM

 

You have the ability to export either the items in a selected category or all items contained in PIM Enterprise.  This is a useful tool for editing item data.  Simply export the data, make your changes to the export file, and then import it back into the system.

To begin the export process, all you need to do is click on the "Export" button located on the "Items" tab. The other way that you can export is by using the "File" menu and and selecting "Export".

Once the process has begun, you will be prompted with the "Export Setup Form".

  1. You have the option to export the data as either a CSV or Excel file.  Due to the size of Excel files, you will not be able to export to Excel if the exported data is over 100,000 records.
  2. Choose where you would like to export the file.  The Export location defaults to C:\Users\[user]\Desktop\PIM_Export.csv, but can be changed by clicking "..." next to the field.
  3. Select "Export Items from . . . " to export the items from the currently selected category or select "Export All Items" to export all items contained in PIM Enterprise.
