If you're working with multiple import feeds, you need to link the feeds so Omnia can process them. This article explains how to link feeds.
Requirements to link feeds
In order to link 2 or more feeds together in Omnia you will first need to add the relevant feeds you want to link together into the Omnia portal. Important to note, that these 2 or more feeds will need to have a shared unique identifier between them as we use this unique identifier in order to link the data between feeds. An example of a unique identifier present in both feeds could be having the same EANs in feed 1 and 2 - the products do not need to be in the same order between the two or more feeds.
How to link feeds
Once you’ve added the two or more feeds to be linked, select one as the ‘basefeed’. Any feed can be used as the basefeed but we recommend using the file which includes the most fields as well as the full product assortment. The reason we recommend selecting this as the basefeed is so we can link the less complete/smaller feeds to the most complete/largest feed.
*Note the first feed connected automatically becomes the basefeed; you can easily change this in the “configure feed” section of the import mapping
Once you have added all relevant feeds and selected the designated basefeed you can use the link feed button to connect the unlinked feed(s) to your basefeed
Once you click the link feed select the feed you want to connect on the left and the basefeed on the right. After that, select the shared unique value between both feeds. In the example below, the ‘Looped Report Units Sold L4W’ is the unlinked feed connected to ‘Basefeed - Consumer Electronics’ using the EAN as the unique identifier.
*Note as you can see: The example EAN for both feeds is different - this is not an issue as it shows the first value in the relevant feeds as the example, as long as you have the same unique identifiers available in both feeds we can link the feeds.
Once you link the feeds, it should look like this, meaning during your next run, you can start mapping data from the newly connected feed(s)
