Update To/From Catalog

The Update To/From Catalog features in the Project Editor allow control and flexibility of what data gets updated to/from your SI Catalog.

Update to Catalog

 

Select the Items in the Project that you want to update to your SI Catalog. These could be pricing changes or Labor Hours changes that you want to apply to the Catalog for use on future Projects. Click Catalog->Update To on the Catalog tab of the Project Editor and choose either Products, Labor, or Packages, depending on what you've selected to update.

The update form will show you existing Items that will be updated as well as new Items that will be created in your SI Catalog, depending on what Items you have selected.

Depending on what Items you've selected, you have options to "Update new products", "Update existing products", or "Mark new products as approved". If the Items you selected have Accessories, you have the options to "Append new accessories", "Overwrite all accessories", or "Ignore accessories":

If you would like to update the System assigned to the item from the Project to the Catalog you can check the "Update System" option.
