Store value into a Contentserv Item

(Since version 1.19)

Until version 1.19, it was not possible—or permitted—for the Connector to rewrite the entries within the PIM. With the Store value into a Contentserv item mapping, Ursula AI is now able to generate texts and content directly into the database entries of the Contentserv PIM.

 

How to create a formatting

1) In your job go to Datamaps.

2) Open Mapping.

3) Add a formatting by clicking on the + symbol.

 

4) Now go to Format (the third box from the left) and select ‘Store value into a Contentserv item’ in the drop-down menu.

 

5) By clicking on ‘Edit format’ (the cogwheel symbol) you will enter the Settings window

 

Settings

Formatting

Shows the formatting you are currently working on. This can not be changed in the Settings window.

 

Status

The process condition of the formatting. For example, if it is approved, a work-in-progress or denied.

 

Name

The title of the formatting. This setting is only recommended if you are planning to link to this format via the format ‘Link on another configuration‘.

 

> Conditions

Here you can set the conditions to meet before the formatting starts.

You can find out more by clicking on this LINK (Setting conditions).

 

> Placeholders

Allows you to control the placeholders of the formatting.

Select the record type you want to update

Specifies the record type the Ursula AI should alter. You can choose between ‘Products‘, ‘Channels‘, and ‘DAM Files‘.

 

Search for the target object to be updated

This function must be explained in detail:

 

Attribute for the ID of the Target Item

This box selects the attribute from which the Ursula AI can specify the ID for the target into which the texts and contents should be created.

This complex method has reason: Since the job is probably fixated on a root node it is possible to choose a superordinated father ID for the value storage. If you want to let your content be generated into the target of the current job, you have to select ‘PdmarticleID‘.

 

Format of the ID

Specifies the format how the source value will be transformed before it is given to the AI.

 

Target attribute of the value

Specifies which attribute should be filled or overwritten.

 

Update behavior

Defines the conditions if and when the content will be created.

For example: You can choose to only fill only empty attributes or to just overwrite their values.

 

Run Example

To fully understand how you can fill values with the Ursula AI in the Contentserv PIM it is best demonstrated with a step-by-step case example.

My goal for this example is to fill the bullet points attribute for the Valdipino Poncho.

 

1) I create a format by clicking on the + symbol beneath the table.

2) As Attribute I select ‘Description (26)‘.

3) In the Export Column I write ‘productTexts|bulletPointGeneration|{StoreView}‘

With the pipe I I make sure that the ‘description‘ is sorted into ‘productTexts‘  when exported into an array. With the curly brackets { } I create a placeholder, in my example for language switches.

4) As Format I choose ‘ Translate via Ursula AI‘.

5) With the basics set I click on the ‘Edit format‘ button (the cogwheel) to open the Settings window.

 

6) For a Name I choose ‘Create bullet points into the Contentserv PIM‘.

 

7) For Format of the source value I select ‘CS::Formatted value (CS formatted)‘, since it retrieves the good-looking displayed value of an attribute, which is perfect for the AI to work with.
