With the help of
the function Set EndOfLife per line you can mark a project's individual
characteristics (rows, articles) as "discontinued"
in an automated process. Also see manual setting of
expiration date per
line under Section 5.9.15.2, “
Mark lines as expired...
”. Information on setting of
expiration date for whole projects can be found under Section 5.9.2.13, “Menu item
Expiration date (End of Life)
”.
A CSV file containing the article number at least (optionally further fields [see below]) is required.

Call the function Set EndOfLife per line on the catalog folder.
-> The dialog box Setting EndofLife date is opened.
-
In the dialog box Setting EndofLife date, perform the following settings:
-
EndofLife data: Determine the CSV file containing the expiration dates by clicking on the search button .
Mode 1: The CSV only contains one column with the article number. In this case on the right, under Settings, only Expiration date and Articlecolumn is displayed.
-
Mode 2: The CSV contains columns with article number + project path. In this case on the right, under Settings, the fields Article (Index) and Projectpath (Index) are displayed in addition so that the position can be determined.
Expiration date: Open the calendar and select the desired expiration date.
Articlecolumn: Determine the column containing the article number.
-
Read date from the CSV: When activating the option, the field Expiration date is changed to a field Datecolumn. Here, enter the column name containing the date. Now the date is dynamically read from the CSV, instead of using a fixed date.
-
Path as PARTcommunity link: Enable this option, if there is a PARTcommunity link in the path field.
In the option is disabled, the path has to be a normal relative path (e.g. catalogname/befestigungstechnik).
Overwrite EndofLife date: In case that an expiration date has already been set, you can determine whether it shall be overwritten.
-
-
Check result in PARTdataManager.
-
In PARTproject, you can find the result under Edit project -> tabbed page General -> Expiration date (End of Life) -> Replacement after expiration (Optional) -> dialog Define replacement projects -> tabbed page Edit rule set.
For complex cases, manual editing can be done by CADENAS Consulting - if needed.
