Individual Sheet Offerings
The form is used to provide details about your Sheet Offering. The following fields
are required to be filled out: Type, Dimensions (in inches, which can be entered
as a decimal or fraction), Weight, and Location (city and state/province abbreviation,
separated by a comma). The Dimensions, Weight, Pieces, Description, Price, Tag No,
and Location fields are used to describe your Sheet offering. The Price is in US
dollars per piece, unless otherwise specified. Any additional information about
the Sheet can be included in the Description field. Please make sure to accurately
fill out all required fields in order to effectively advertise your Sheet.
Multiple Sheet Offerings - Automatic Data Entry
As a Sheet supplier, you have the option to add, edit, and remove your Sheet offerings
by uploading an Excel spreadsheet with descriptions of your Sheets. The spreadsheet
should have one row for each Sheet offering, with the data for each offering in its
own columns. Steel Spider will read the file row by row and automatically add the
offerings to the Inventory. The layout of the file, including the order and location
of the columns, is determined by the supplier. This layout file is usually an Excel
spreadsheet that you are already using or that can be easily exported from your
inventory database. In some cases, a text file may also be accepted. By using this
method, you can easily and efficiently update your Sheet offerings on the Steel Spider
platform.
If you are considering using this Automatic Data Entry Process you need to
Register first and then attach your Sheet inventory file to
info@steelspider.com.
Before you can use the Excel spreadsheet method to add, edit, or remove your Sheet offerings,
we need to set up the site to recognize the layout and other information about your
file. There is no cost to set this up, and we offer a free trial period so that
you can try out this method and see if it is a useful tool for managing your Sheet
Offerings on the Steel Spider platform. This trial period allows you to evaluate
whether using this method is a good fit for your business without incurring any
charges.
The file format for your Sheet offerings can be either Excel or Text, depending on
what you use internally. Simply send us the file that you currently use, and we
will set up the processing of the file on the site and guide you through the process.
If your company uses codes or abbreviations, such as for location or grades, let
us know what these codes represent, and we can configure the site to recognize and
replace them with more descriptive terms for your Sheets. You can keep the codes
in your file and don't need to "clean up" the data. Using this method of providing
your Sheet offerings also allows us to customize how they appear on the site and
provide more information, such as links to pictures of the Sheets on your website.
If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please don't hesitate
to ask.
You need to periodically update your Sheet offerings to ensure that your Sheet being
advertised is still available. If you
haven't returned to this page to check on your sheet for 30 days we will email you
a reminder to update your sheet or
confirm your sheet's continued availability. If no confirmation is received, we
will remove your sheet.
Add/Change/Remove Multiple Sheet Offerings - Automatic Data Entry
Some suppliers may find it easier and faster to automate the process of providing
your sheet offerings. To add your Sheet Offerings you upload an Excel file with
information describing each Sheet on a single row. The uploaded file is processed
and automatically added to the Inventory. The Layout of the uploaded file needs
to be defined so the site knows where the appropriate information can be found.
Our goal if for you to provide a file with a layout that is easiest for you to prepare.
We tailor the automation process to handle your layout. A walk-through describing
the options for handling Multiple Sheet Offerings is provided in
Show Help for this Page above. To add, edit or remove your Sheet Offerings
when you upload subsequent files we remove the Sheet from a previous file and replace
it with the sheet in the current file.
Below is a listing of the files that have been setup to use with the Automatic Data
Entry process.
When you upload your sheet here, only the sheet from your file will be displayed
in the grid above so you can edit or delete individual items. A button will appear
at the top right of the grid that will let you view and edit all your sheet on the
site if other methods were used to add Sheet to the Inventory. Your file can contain
both Sheet and Sheet however only individual Sheet can be edited above. Individual
Sheets can be edited on
Add Sheet.
