ONIXEDIT Pro (optional with ONIXEDIT regular) provides a useful tool to import/export flat files and Excel files to and from ONIX.


You can use that tool to import metadata from a flat file to an ONIXEDIT Server catalogue. To do so, open the Flat file generic import tool and check the Import directly into an ONIXEDIT Server Catalogue checkbox:




You will then be invited to select the ONIXEDIT Server catalogue that will receive the flat file metadata.


Then, you just have to click on the Convert and Import Flat or Excel File to ONIX button as you would do normally:




Instead of creating a new local ONIX file, ONIXEDIT will import the flat file directly to your ONIXEDIT Server catalogue and will apply the Import Rules defined for that catalogue.


Consult ONIXEDIT User manual for more details on importing from flat files or Excel.
