How to upload your Parts Categories CSV file into Partful, or how to update your existing Parts Categories within the Platform.
Uploading Your Parts Categories.
Once you have applied the desired parts categories to the assemblies and parts in your Parts Categories File, you can return to your product's Parts Categories page.
Under the “Upload New Parts Categories File” section, click browse and select your CSV file, then click the Start Upload button.
While your Parts Categories file is processing, you will be shown a processing screen within your Manage Product section and the corresponding product tile within your Product Library. This is only while your 3D model and Parts Catalog are updated to reflect the change to the hierarchy.
Once the changes are processed, you can return to the Manage Product > Parts Categories section and view the “before” and “after” of the product hierarchy to check the changes that have been applied based on your Parts Categories file.
To see your changes in the 3D canvas, click the View Parts Catalog button next to the right-hand “Current Categories” section (or go directly to the Parts Catalog from the product tile in the Product Library).
Updating Parts Categories
If you want to change the Parts Categories or how parts are grouped within them, you need to return to the Manage Product > Parts Categories section. Click on the Upload New Parts Categories button underneath the “previous” and “current” hierarchy views.
This begins the process again so you can download a fresh Parts Categories File template containing your current product hierarchy and make your desired changes, then repeat the process as many times as you need to.
