By: Karianne Muckle

Manually Uploading Files in the Portal: Template Formats

Use one of the following template formats to help you get your items uploaded into the Dsco portal.

  • Standard Dsco Catalog Template
    This option allows you to manage files for your account straight from the Dsco portal. The template includes mandatory Dsco fields as well as additional fields your trading partner may require.
    1. Download a copy of the Dsco Catalog Template by clicking here. To view expanded definitions of the Dsco Data Schema, please click here.
    2. Include at least 3 items that each have 11 units of positive quantity. If you don’t have these items and/or quantities on hand, you can load some test SKUS for testing purposes and change/remove the SKUs later.
      Important: After filling in the template, be sure to delete the colored instructional header rows to avoid getting errors in your upload results.
    3. Once you have filled out the template with your data, click the orange Guide Me button above to get a guided walkthrough and instructions on the rest of the upload process.
  • Custom Data Mapped Template
    This option allows you to map your data to Dsco’s specifications and create a custom file by using the Data Mapper tool. For more information about how to use the Data Mapper tool, please refer to this article.
