Methods to update your catalog content
You may update your catalog by using one of the following methods:
- Use the Office Content Downloader application to download multiple manufacturer updates at one time.
- Log into your Cyncly Account and download individual manufacturer updates.
Methods to verify your catalog update
-
Pricing: If your manufacturer uses price zones, you may verify the Price Effective date on in Worksheet by opening a specific catalog on the Content tree and looking at the Price Effective next to Zone 1. You may also drag a single part from that catalog into a worksheet file and turn on the PZ Description column. View > Columns > Customize Columns then check the box for PZ Description and click OK.
Note: Not all manufacturers use Price Zones or Price Effective dates in 2020 products. If the field is empty that particular manufacturer most likely does not use that field.
- General Catalog Updates: If you were not expecting a price increase, but you still need a catalog update for other reasons, you may verify the catalog version by inserting a single part into a worksheet file and turning on the Catalog Date column. View > Columns > Customize Columns then check the box for Catalog Date and click OK.
Note: This is the date of when the catalog file was created at 2020. You may use this as a reference on worksheet files to see from what catalog update an individual part was inserted. Catalog files are built a few weeks before being distributed for the next month's update. So, if you installed a September update, the catalog date will likely be a date of the previous month of August, since it takes time to get the data from the manufacturer and build it into a catalog file prior to being distributed for download for users.
