🏷️ Choose Model Type

Next, choose the Model Type:

• New Model – For active, currently sold models

• Old Model – For discontinued or inactive models that are not yet in the database

⚠️ Important: Do not register active models as Old Models. This option is only for discontinued or inactive items.

🧾 Choose Input Type

Now, select how you want to enter model data:

🧩 Register a Single Model

Register one model at a time. Scan or manually type the Model Number from the barcode. Make sure it matches exactly — no extra spaces or special characters.

• Model Name

• UPC Code (optional)

• Brand Name

After selecting the Brand Name, additional dropdowns will appear:

• Appliance Type

• Sub-Categories

• Detail Categories

Once all required fields are completed, click Save. Your model is now successfully registered.

📂 Bulk Import Models

To register multiple models at once, select Bulk Import.

Upload a CSV file containing your model information. If you don’t have the template yet, you can download it directly from the pop-up.

Before uploading, make sure to review the authorized brands and categories in AIO to ensure your file matches available options.

After uploading, you’ll see a file preview so you can double-check the data. When everything looks correct, click Save to complete the import.

Once selected, the model’s details will load, including:

• Model Name

You can update any of these fields as needed. When finished, click Save to apply your changes.
