Title and feed identifier
You can give your feed a new title and change the identifier. The title should be meaningful and unique. Keep it short and concise.
The "Feed identifier" is the name that appears in the "Data Mapping" and shows which import feed it is. It can be different from the name of the feed, but should not be longer than 10 characters.
Product filter
Here you can either select an existing product filter or create a new product filter to exclude items directly from the import.
Please note that only one filter can be used at a time.
You can find all information about product filters here:
If, on the other hand, you only want to adjust the "Error tolerance and Limit Values" or edit the "feed schedule", click on “Advanced feed settings” or “Feed schedule”.
