Connect: Tharstern - Mapping products | ID: CI_Tharstern_003

In this tutorial, we will learn how to map products between Infigo and Tharstern using the Connect:Tharstern plugin. This functions using the following process: Infigo retrieves a sample estimate request from Tharstern with default values provided and transferred via JSON file. Using the UI or advanced configuration settings seen in this tutorial, we overwrite certain parts of that estimate then return it to Tharstern.

00:00:12:21 - 00:00:15:06
In this
tutorial, we'll learn how to map products

00:00:15:06 - 00:00:18:25
between Infigo and Tharstern
using the Connect Tharstern plugin.

00:00:20:08 - 00:00:22:15
So how this works, Infigo.

00:00:22:15 - 00:00:26:07
will initially retrieve
a sample estimate request from Tharstern

00:00:26:18 - 00:00:29:08
with default values
provided and transferred

00:00:29:08 - 00:00:32:03
via JSON file

00:00:32:08 - 00:00:35:16
using the user interface
or advanced configuration settings

00:00:35:16 - 00:00:39:18
that will see in this particular tutorial,
we can overwrite certain parts

00:00:39:18 - 00:00:44:16
of that estimate
and then return it to Tharstern.

00:00:45:25 - 00:00:48:02
The first thing we want to do
is to actually navigate

00:00:48:02 - 00:00:50:25
to the product
that we want to set up the link for.

00:00:51:08 - 00:00:54:18
So we'll begin
by going to the product management screen

00:00:59:18 - 00:01:01:09
and then locating one of the products

00:01:01:09 - 00:01:10:01
that we want to link.

00:01:10:12 - 00:01:13:12
Now we set up this link on a product
variant basis,

00:01:13:13 - 00:01:16:21
so you want to click on the plus icon
next to your relevant product.

00:01:18:02 - 00:01:20:24
And then wherever you see this
connect link icon,

00:01:21:01 - 00:01:23:28
that's
where you can set up a link between Infigo

00:01:24:03 - 00:01:27:13
and a third party system.

00:01:29:04 - 00:01:30:25
So when you click the Connect link

00:01:30:25 - 00:01:34:19
button, a pop up will be displayed
with the Connect settings.

00:01:34:24 - 00:01:38:07
For this product variant.

00:01:40:22 - 00:01:41:15
All we have to do

00:01:41:15 - 00:01:43:26
is to begin typing the name of our product

00:01:44:25 - 00:01:47:25
and then select it
from the filtered list of products.

00:01:48:05 - 00:01:51:00
So you'll see there,
if I click on this external ID box

00:01:51:16 - 00:01:54:00
based on the settings
we've already configured

00:01:54:00 - 00:01:58:04
as part of the Tharstern integration,
all of our product

00:01:58:04 - 00:02:01:28
details are now being drawn through.

00:02:07:15 - 00:02:08:26
From there, I can select the

00:02:08:26 - 00:02:10:21
relevant product,

00:02:10:21 - 00:02:11:24
relevant product,

00:02:11:24 - 00:02:16:14
specify whether or not I want to use live
pricing for this product

00:02:17:08 - 00:02:20:06
and then hit save external reference.

00:02:31:11 - 00:02:33:10
This will pull through the parts

00:02:33:10 - 00:02:36:21
and processes
for this product from Tharstern.

00:02:37:27 - 00:02:40:05
From here we just need to select the parts

00:02:40:05 - 00:02:43:09
and processes that you wish to use
for this particular product.

00:02:43:27 - 00:02:46:09
So, for example,
we can select a finished size

00:02:47:24 - 00:02:49:24
and we can specify any of the processes

00:02:49:24 - 00:02:52:24
that we want to utilize.

00:02:52:24 - 00:02:54:14
that we want to utilize.

00:02:54:14 - 00:02:58:28
And then further down from here,
we can see the parts,

00:02:58:28 - 00:03:02:19
select the parts and the processes
you wish to use for this product.

00:03:05:08 - 00:03:10:01
So clicking toggle advanced configuration
will reveal another couple of settings

00:03:10:04 - 00:03:14:05
here.

00:03:14:05 - 00:03:18:02
Now the estimate request mapping
that's displayed here has been generated

00:03:18:16 - 00:03:22:24
from the part and process options
that we've seen further up the screen.

00:03:22:24 - 00:03:25:13
So all the selection options
that we have available here

00:03:31:27 - 00:03:32:14
now, the code

00:03:32:14 - 00:03:34:23
that's in here is completely configurable.

00:03:35:15 - 00:03:38:19
So this means that
if any additional mapping is required,

00:03:38:20 - 00:03:44:26
the user can make additional changes.

00:03:44:26 - 00:03:47:08
But word of warning,
if you are planning to use the

00:03:47:29 - 00:03:51:15
manual modification
of the estimate request mapping,

00:03:51:25 - 00:03:56:27
it's highly recommended that you complete
configuring the process and part settings

00:03:57:07 - 00:04:00:04
prior to modifying the advanced
configuration settings.

00:04:00:21 - 00:04:03:15
If you change any of the process settings

00:04:03:15 - 00:04:08:19
discussed further up the screen,
once you've started making changes

00:04:08:19 - 00:04:11:22
to the estimate request mapping,
it will request it.

00:04:12:08 - 00:04:14:22
It will refresh the JSON script.

00:04:14:28 - 00:04:23:13
So any changes that you've made to
this mapping will be lost.

00:04:23:13 - 00:04:27:05
And then right at the bottom of
the screen, we also have the product type.

00:04:27:05 - 00:04:28:05
JSON.

00:04:28:10 - 00:04:31:15
This is primarily debugging information
retrieved straight

00:04:31:15 - 00:04:33:04
from the Tharstern and system.

00:04:33:10 - 00:04:37:05
Then apply the mapping by going further up
page and clicking save

00:04:37:05 - 00:04:39:02
external reference.
