Admin Induction Configuration

There are several parameters that impact the upload of foundation data via spreadsheets, as well as the download into spreadsheets. These parameters are managed via the Foundation Data Upload and Download Tasks via the Admin Induction Configuration template listed under the Administration template type. This template when downloaded contains one worksheet, Admin Induction Config. The worksheet carries a single row of information and supports only updates. The parameters contained in the worksheet are described below. To make updates to the attributes, select the action type of Update in the appropriate tab and apply your changes.

System Options	Description
Maximum Records for Download	Indicates the maximum number of records for the entity that you are downloading that can be extracted into a spreadsheet at a time. If the entity contains more than this number of rows, apply data filters, if available, to minimize the number of records to manage. If the entity you are trying to download has more than this number of records in it, an error will be raised.
Maximum Records for Synch Download	Indicates the maximum number of records for the entity that you are downloading that can be extracted into a spreadsheet in synchronous mode (while the user waits). If the data set exceeds this number of records, the request will be processed asynchronously.
Maximum File Size for Upload	Indicates the maximum number of records for an entity that can be uploaded in one process. If an entity exceeds this number of records, users will have to break their data into separate data sets for uploading. For entities that have more than one table contained in the spreadsheet, the "header" table is used for the record count.
Maximum File Size for Synch Upload	Indicates the maximum number of records can be uploaded for an entity in synchronous mode (while the user waits). If the data set exceeds this number of records, the request will be processed asynchronously.

Uploading Changes

For the attributes defined above, once all the updates have been made to the data in the spreadsheet, save the file and close it. Then, return to the Merchandising screens and select Foundation Data > Upload Foundation Data from the main task list. In this screen, select the template type Administration and the template Admin Induction Configuration. This will generate a process description automatically, but this can be updated if desired. Lastly, select the Browse button and navigate to the directory where you saved the updated spreadsheet. To review the status of the upload and check whether any errors occurred, select the Foundation Data > Review Status task from the main task list.
