When all required fields are matched, click on 'confirm mapping' at the bottom right.

You do this by filling in and sending your request at the bottom of the matching column. The product data management department of Onetrail will then contact you by email.

To be able to continue working while you are waiting for a new brand or classification, we recommend that you leave this record open. The unmatched products are not yet processed and are not yet available to your buyers.

Once your request is approved, the brand or classification is available for matching. You do this in the same way as we explained earlier in this video.

Finish 

When you've matched all the records, or left them open for a later match, you're done with this part.
