Backend
The extension is available under Sales -> Tracking Import. There, you set up import profiles and sources. Under Sales -> Orders, it is possible to create orders which can be updated under Sales -> Tracking Import -> Manual Import.
On the Manual Import screen, you choose an import profile; can upload a file manually; and decide whether to activate test mode and show debug messages.
On the Import Profiles page, you have a grid with all available import profiles. The grid consists of 10 columns:
- Checkbox (choose profiles to apply mass actions here);
- Profile ID (each profile has its ID; you can filter profiles according to their IDs);
- Import Type (shows profile import type; supports filtering via dropdown list);
- Processor (shows profile processor; supports filtering via dropdown list);
- Name (profile name; type a name to apply filtering);
- Profile Status (enabled or disabled; supports filtering via dropdown list);
- Configuration (cronjob import);
- Last Import (supports filtering via date interval);
- Last Modification (supports filtering via date interval);
- Action (edit profiles here).
Note that all columns except Checkbox and Actions support filtering. As for mass actions, Xtento Tracking Number Import Module For Magento 2 and 1 lets you delete profiles or change their statuses in bulk.
The creation of a new profile is divided into several steps. First of all you specify its name, processor, and import entity.
Next, the extension creates the profile and redirects you to a new screen that contains 7 tabs: General Configuration; Settings and Filters; File Mapping; Actions; Import Sources; Automatic Import; and Profile Execution Log.
On the General Configuration tab, you can change profiles name and status. File processor and Import Entity can be no longer modified.
Settings & Filters is a place where you choose Order Identifier (used for identifying orders in the import file) and Product Identifier as well as set more precise approach to import (Process orders only if);
File Mapping is also divided between two sections: File Settings and File Mapping. In File Settings, you choose whether to skip header line or not, specify field delimiter, and set field enclosure character.
As for the File Mapping section, it lets you add fields to mapping.
On the Actions tab, you select import actions and specify their values.
As for Import Sources, this tab contains a grid with your sources.
In the Automatic Import, you can view a status of cronjob, enable/disable cronjob import, and select an import frequency or specify a custom one.
Profile Execution Log gathers all data in an appropriate grid.
The same grid is available separately under Sales -> Tracking Import -> Execution Log.
As for import sources, you can find them in a grid as well.
To create a new source, you should specify its name and type. Next, the extension saves the source and redirects you to a new screen with more settings and customization options. Unfortunately, this functionality is not available in the demo installation of Xtento Tracking Number Import Magento 2 extension.
As for available tools, they let you upload previously exported settings as well as import them.
