When you register to ONIXEDIT Cloud, you get one ONIX 2.1 catalogue by default. If you need to provide ONIX 3.0 files to your trading partners or if you need to load ONIX 3.0 files in your ONIXEDIT Cloud account, you will have to activate support to ONIX 3.0 first by clicking on the corresponding button at top of the main list:
By clicking this button, ONIXEDIT Cloud will present you 3 possible options:
- Produce ONIX 3.0 from your ONIX 2.1 catalogue using our automatic converter: This is the easiest solution. You will have only one catalogue of metadata to maintain. We will activate some additional validations that will ensure your ONIX 2.1 titles are compliant with ONIX 3.0 requirements. A new action will be added to the Action menu "Export Selected Titles to ONIX 3.0". This option won't allow you to import ONIX 3.0 files.
- Change your current ONIX 2.1 catalogue to ONIX 3.0 and automatically convert its content to ONIX 3.0: With this option, you will still have only one catalogue of metadata but it will be an ONIX 3.0 catalogue. You will also be able to import ONIX 2.1 and ONIX 3.0 files. ONIX 2.1 files will be automatically converted to the ONIX 3.0 standard. WARNING: If you choose this option, you will be able to produce ONIX 3.0 files only and you can't go back to ONIX 2.1 anymore!
- Create a new ONIX 3.0 catalogue: You will keep your current ONIX 2.1 catalogue and you will have access to a new ONIX 3.0 catalogue too. Your allowed titles from your subscription will be shared between both catalogues. This mean that if you are allowed up to 100 titles and you currently have 80 titles in your ONIX 2.1 catalogue, you will need to upgrade your subscription if you want the same titles in both catalogues. If you need to produce a title in both ONIX formats, it is important to know that you will have to maintain 2 distinct copies of that title: one in each catalogue separately. However, your ONIX 3.0 catalogue will be able to import ONIX 2.1 and ONIX 3.0 files. It is not the case for your ONIX 2.1 catalogue that can import ONIX 2.1 files only.
It is also important to know that you can choose between these 3 possible options only once and you can't reverse your choice.
