Conditional attribute value deletion

A cleansing rule of this type can be used to specify for an attribute that a particular attribute value is to be deleted in the process of the transformation. In the process, all the imported attribute values are checks. The attribute value is deleted for items for which the specified value has been imported. For all the other items, the attribute value is taken over.

In order to set up a cleansing rule of this type, proceed as follows:

  1. From the “Choose rule type” menu, select the rule type “Conditional attribute value deletion”.
  2. Click on the Add button to call up the corresponding dialog box.
  1. Enter a name for the cleansing rule in the input field “Title”.
  2. From the drop-down menu “Order”, select the appropriate option. You can choose between:
    • Before transformation: The attribute value modification also affects the supplier attributes.
    • After transformation: The attribute value modification only affects the iPIM Supply attributes.
  3. From the “Attribute” menu, select the iPIM Supply attribute whose attribute value is to be cleansed.
Example: If the value “Smurfblue” is imported for the attribute “50shadesofblue”, the value is deleted. Any other value is taken over.
  1. Possibly enter a short description in the input field “Description”.
  2. Possibly tick the “Activate rule” checkbox to activate the rule.
  3. Possibly tick the checkbox “Internal rule” to determine that the cleansing rule is an internal rule. Internal rules can be used as subordinate rule of certain rule types such as “Conditional attribute setting”.
  4. In the input field “Condition”, enter the attribut value that is to be deleted.
  5. Possibly configure a test run and carry it out in order to check if the configuration of the rule is valid.
  • In order to finish the configuration, click on the Save button. If the process was successful, a corresponding message will appear. The cleansing rule of is now set up.
  • In order to cancel the process, click on the Cancel button.
