Dear Valued Customer,

• Completed and Planned Modifications 
• Quick Links

Thank You,
The DataSource Team

Our PDM Audit is intended to improve the format of the specifications and attribute structure. Most of the categories are being revisited, starting with the most popular ones. There are potential concerns with this project we need to make our customers aware of:

• The project entails massive redistributions of SKUs.
• Some searchable attributes will be deactivated.
• The format of specifications will be changed significantly. The specifications will not just be improved, but they will look different.

Categories finished in April:

• Training Courses (HB)
• Developing & Processing Equipment (UE)
• Cutters & Trimmers (VC)
• Darkroom Accessories, Safelight & Setup (UF)
• Laminators (VD)
• Large Appliance Accessories (RG)

Categories currently in progress or planned for May:

• Disc Drives (CC)
• RAM (BA)
• Several *Cables* categories

The following links are feeds which include all searchable attributes, both active and deactivated. This will allow DataSource customers to see what attributes have changed, and to check if these changes have been properly reflected within their databases. This feed is available in two different file formats: Excel and tab-delimited text.

The feed can be downloaded using the following links:

A covering document is also available. It describes the feed purpose and usage guidelines:

NOTE: The feed does not include searchable attributes which were deactivated prior to January 1, 2010.
