Perform Guided Task Flow to Mass Change Item Class for Items

You can use the guided task flows that belong to the guided task category called Change Item Class available in the guided task library to mass migrate existing items to a different item class.
Each guided task flow in the Change Item Class category, at the minimum, includes the following tasks:
  1. Select items to be assigned
  2. Select target item class
  3. Review and submit
  4. View item batch status

When running the task flow, you must navigate to each task in the same order it's listed. To complete a task, click Done for each task. However, until you complete the Review and submit task, you can revisit any of the prior tasks in the task flow and make changes.

To mass assign items to catalog categories:

  1. On the Product Management page, in the Actions panel, click View all actions and then click Guided Tasks.
    The Perform Guided Tasks page is displayed.
  2. Click the guided task flow that you want to run belonging to the Change Item Class category, and then click Start Guided Task.
  3. Click the Select items to be assigned task.
  4. Click the Select the target item class task. Select the target item class to which items must be assigned, select the target item view and click Done.
    Note: If your administrator hasn't preselected the target item class and the target item view, you can choose one from the LOVs available.
  5. Click the Review and Submit task. Review the selections and choices you’ve made. If there are no changes, click Done.
    To change any of your selections, click the respective task and do the changes. View the updated changes in the Review and Submit task and click Done.
    The selected items are exported into a smart spreadsheet with:
    • Columns specified in the target item view
    • One new item class name prepopulated with the target item class.

    You must update the smart spreadsheet as required and submit the item import process.

  6. Click the View item batch status task.
    You can use this task to view the Job ID, Job Status, Submitted Date, and Batch Name of the Item Import scheduled process. You can click Refresh to view the progress of the scheduled process.

    When the Job Status changes to Succeeded, then you’ve successfully completed the Guided Task flow. If the batch fails, then you can rerun the task flow after resolving the issue.
