	Create Your Own Product Catalogs *WITH EXCEL TEMPLATE* | pCon.basket Tutorial Custom catalogs make it possible in pCon.basket PRO to work more flexibly, tailor-made and efficiently when planning and furnishing spaces. They offer the possibility to create and organize product lists according to your requirements, whether for specific projects, brands, suppliers or design guidelines.

To add article images to your catalog, create a folder with the images in the storage location of your Excel template. Proceed as follows:

1. Create folder. Name of the folder: {name of Excel file} _Images
2. Store catalog images in the folder.
3. Open Excel file.
4. In the ImageUrl column, enter name and file extension of the image belonging to the respective article (for example image.png).

Note: the catalog preview image is also stored in the image folder.

If you do not want to store the images locally together with the template, you can insert internet links to these images (URLs) into your Excel file.

Note: If you want to provide article images via a cloud service, it is possible that links without a file extension are created. To avoid reading errors of the images, make sure that you always use JPG files in connection with cloud services.

	Article Images for Custom Catalogs | pCon.basket PRO Tutorial In this tutorial, we’ll show you two efficient ways to integrate article and catalog images – via web link or through OneDrive. This way, your catalog becomes not only informative but also visually appealing!

To define the short text, long text as well as variant text in different languages, use the respective tabs of the Custom Catalog Excel template.

The first column of each tab is always “article” and contains the references to the row IDs of the article worksheet. Within the other columns, you can insert the translations. In the column headers, enter the iso-codes for the languages you want to insert. If no short, long or variant text is maintained in the chosen quote language, the default text from the article worksheet will be used.
