Change Request Import Sheet – Documentation
General Overview
This is the documentation for ECLASS expert groups to fill out a Change Request Import Sheet that is used for the import of bulk requests into the ECLASS ContentDevelopmentPlatform. The possibility to import bulk requests is only available in accordance with the ECLASS Head Office.
Obtaining the CR Import Sheet
The CR Import Sheet is sent to users on demand. They can fill in the CRs and send it back to the Head Office (considering the deadlines). The Head Office can upload the CR Import Sheet in the mode "check only". Afterwards the user gets the report of the CRs. In case of errors in the report, the user must correct them. As soon as all errors are corrected, the ECLASS Head Office can upload the CR import sheet, so that all CRs are available in the status "NEW".
Advanced users can also upload the CR Import Sheet in "check only" mode themselves. Therefore the users have to navigate in CDP to Change request manager --> EXCEL import change request
Note: For only checking the file please upload with the marked default settings from the screenshot.
Language
All requests have to be written in English, but the Change requests can also be defined in all other official ECLASS languages.
Mandatory Fields
Certain fields are always "mandatory", no matter which CR type is entered:
- Preferred name
- Reason for request: It is important to specify exactly what the reason for the CR is.
- CR proposer: Note that here the CDP user name must be entered and not first and last name.
Referencing CR IDs
Referencing to CR IDs is possible depending on the selected Change Request (CR).
In the columns for specifying identifiers, a differentiation is made between
- "...non-existing"
Either the internal Import sheet Identifier or an existing CR ID in the CDP must be entered here. - "...existing"
An existing item code in the CDP (e.g. AAA123) must be entered here.
PLEASE NOTE: When sending CRs to the ECLASS Head Office you automatically agree with the ECLASS Terms of Use.
The tiles below each represent a tab in the CR import sheet.
For example in the tile “Classes”, you will find the operating instructions for the tab of the same name in the CR Import Sheet.
