Importing Products
Importing product details from external source to the CRM system is one of the most important activities while migrating data from legacy systems to vtiger CRM. You can import products, if you are authorized to perform this operation. Otherwise, Import Products button in Products Home page will be hidden in your user interface. By default, product ownership is held up with the user, who imports the products. You can change the product ownership while importing by adding a product owner column in import (*.CSV) file and map to the Assigned To field. This will automatically assign products to particular users. Use the exact vtiger CRM users' names while creating the product import file, otherwise product details are not created in vtiger CRM. Tips Use only *.CSV file format. The *.CSV file should contain the header column to map the data with vtiger CRM. Disable the Sort filter in *.CSV file (In *.CSV file, disable the filter option by Data Filter AutoFilter). Before importing the product details into vtiger CRM close the *.CSV file and the corresponding Spreadsheet program. Remove apostrophe if present anywhere in the *.CSV file.
Deleting Products
Occasionally, you may need to remove the unnecessary products, which are not tracked further. This will help y, or which may be obsolete. This enables you to manage you r products much better. You can delete products either individually or in bulk. Warning: Deleting products is a destructive operation, hence use this option carefully.
