Using a cleanser rule of this type you copy the values of a particular attribute and allocate these values to another attribute so that, in the end, both attributes share the same value.
Copying and allocating attribute values only works between attributes of the same type. For example, it is not possible to assign the values of a numbers attribute to a character string attribute.
In order to set up a cleansing rule of this type, proceed as follows:
- From the “Choose rule type” menu, select the rule type “Copy attribute values”.
- Click on the
button to call up the corresponding dialog box.
- Enter a name for the cleansing rule in the input field “Title”.
- From the “Order” menu, 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.
- From the “Attribute” menu, select the attribute to which the copied attribute values are to be allocated.
- Possibly enter a short description in the input field “Description”.
- Possibly tick the “Activate rule” checkbox to activate the rule.
- 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”.
- From the “Copied attribute” menu, select the attribute from which the attribute values are copied.
- 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
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
button.
