When to use

Use presets to quickly set secure union directory profile behavior.

Setting procedure

  1. Open the Union Catalog profile.
  2. In the upload settings, select the import preset.
  3. For a regular supplier, usually start with a gentle exchange.
  4. For a full snapshot, only enable full sync when the source actually contains the full set.
  5. Check the rules for products, offers, empty fields and missing entities.
  6. Run test import.

What to check

  • Missing items are only removed in scenarios where this is expected.
  • Empty values do not accidentally clear important fields.
  • New products are created or blocked according to the task.

Notes

  • Full synchronization requires careful protection against mass deletion.
  • The preset can be adjusted manually after selection.
