Sprint Release #57

Hi there 👋

We have launched some great updates to Creative Force and are happy to share the release notes with you!

Happy reading!

Cheers
Matthias and the product team

New Features

New Job Import Method

We have added a new job import method: SYNCED FROM DATA SOURCE

This is basically the closet thing to a full integration, where you only have to create a full data file and Creative Forces handles the logic defining the products to import.

Where the User has set up a data source on a client, they now have the option to create a job that automatically pulls products from the data source that meet defined synchronization criteria such as season or campaign code.

The job will then be kept up to date whenever the data source is modified. The system will:

• Add new products that meet the defined synchronization criteria
• Update existing products with new property values.

Data Source - Delta Updates

We've updated the data source feature to now support delta update files.

Delta files may sound a bit technical, but in reality, it means that you first make one file containing everything (the full file) and from then on, you create smaller files that only contain the changes since the last file upload. These smaller files are called delta files.

Delta update files can be used to:

• add products
• update existing products
• delete products
• deactivate / activate products

Color References for External Post

We have updated the options when sending a color reference file to external post-production vendors. The user can now choose to either:

• send color reference files for all products within an outfit
• limit the color reference file to the primary product.
