Making Data and Images Kroger Specific

Are you reviewing the Kroger Style Guide and realizing you want to make an attribute or image Kroger-specific and only send it to Kroger? We got you covered.

Here are some notes on how to set up attributes and images that will only synchronize with Kroger.

Product Data

1. Verify that an attribute is Recipient Dependent Data (RDD) capable

  • An attribute that is capable of indicating a recipient GLN means you can tailor that attribute for a specific recipient and will only syndicate to the targeted trading partner
  • Keep an eye out for a box, that by default, specifies “ALL” which means the attribute is set to sync with anyone it is published to
  • Some key E-comm attributes that have RDD capabilities include product description, marketing message, and feature benefits

2. Hit the “+” sign to add another instance of the attribute

3. Replace the default “ALL” value with the “Certified Items for Kroger API” GLN – 0838016000116

Images - DAM

1. Hover over the image in the image carousel

2. Hover over the cogwheel icon and click “Edit Metadata”

3. Click on the dropdown for “Shared With” and select a value

  • All – will submit the image to everyone the item is synced to
  • Nobody – will keep the image private and not sync out
  • Recipients – will allow users to add one or more recipient GLNs and the image will only sync to that list
  • Excluding – will allow users to add one or more recipient GLNs that the image will not sync to, so sync to everyone except for this list of GLNs

4. In the instance a user wants to only send an image to the Kroger API, add the “Certified Items for Kroger API” GLN – 0838016000116 using the “Recipients” value

5. In the instance a user wants to exclude an image from going to the Kroger API, add the “Certified Items for Kroger API” GLN – 0838016000116 using the “Excluding” value

Images - EFL

  1. Within the EFL section, navigate to the “Shared With” attribute
  2. Add the “Certified Items for Kroger API” GLN – 0838016000116
  3. This image will now only sync out to the “Certified Items for Kroger API” GLN – 0838016000116
