Global Inventory Formats

Within ecomdash, there are global formats which have all of the required attributes to list to a corresponding sales channel, update shipping information, or supplier information. 

Navigate to Settings > Inventory Settings > Import Format OR Export Format 

Within the Format page, at the right hand side of the page, you will see a blue button that says "Copy Global Format" button with a drop down menu. 

Choose your Format and click the blue "Copy Global Format". This will create a copy of that format in both your Import and Export Format pages.

The options in the dropdown are sectioned off to Product Formats and Listing Formats 

For example, if you want to upload Amazon Listing Attributes you would copy the "Amazon Listing Format". If you click into the binoculars for your format you will see all of the required listing attributes to upload. 

If you want to add tracking or shipping information, you would copy the "Product Shipping Details". If you click into the binoculars for your format you will see all of the required attributes related to shipping. 

**Remember to always select the Storefront from the Storefronts dropdown menu if you are using a listing global format**
