A cleansing rule of this type can be used to cleanse imported item data to the effect that a particular part of multipart supplier attribute values is extracted and allocated to the corresponding iPIM Supply attribute. A rule of this type can be applied to supplier attributes whose individual parts are separated by specified delimeters.
This rule type can only be applied to character string attributes.
In order to set up a cleansing rule of this type, proceed as follows:
- From the “Choose rule type” menu, select the rule type “Pattern-based text splitter”.

button to call up the corresponding dialog box.
