Symptom
When importing an Excel file into the Dictionary, I want to create relationships between the imported entries via attribute type Dictionary link.
For example:
We have 2 categories, one is the 'Parent Category' and another is the 'Child Category'. I want the entries from the 'Parent Category' to be linked as 'Parent' to the entries from the 'Child Category' and vice versa.
This would look like this:
Parent Category:
Title: | Child: | Parent: |
Parent 1 | Child 1 | |
Parent 2 | Child 2 | |
Parent 3 | Child 3 |
Child Category:
Title: | Child: | Parent: |
Child 1 | Parent 1 | |
Child 2 | Parent 2 | |
Child 3 | Parent 3 |
Resolution
It is possible to import not only dictionary entries, but also their attributes so that they are linked together.
Prerequisites:
- The relevant Dictionary Attributes are already created. In our example, it's 'Parent' and 'Child'. The type is 'Dictionary link'
- The respective Dictionary Categories are created: 'Parent Category', 'Child Category'
How to proceed:
- Start with the import of the Excel sheet 'Parent Category'
- In the import setup:
- Match the respective attributes
- Check the option to create new entries
- Choose matching identifier in Excel and dictionary as 'Title'
- import the Excel sheet 'Child Category' with the same import setup
