Why use Customization and Template Overrides

Customizations and Templates determine the behavior of OneSchema importers. Using overrides can allow specific behavior for individual importing sessions.

Template Overrides

When to override

  • Adjusting template column behavior on a per-customer basis (eg. picklist options).

If you are using our SDK to initialize your importer, pass in templateOverrides as part of the OneSchemaLaunchParams.

If you are using the API, pass in template_overrides to the create embedded session endpoint.

The format for templateOverrides is OneSchemaTemplateOverrides documented below.

OneSchemaTemplateOverrides

KeyTypeDescription
columnsOneSchemaTemplateColumn[]Array of column level overrides

OneSchemaTemplateColumn

KeyTypeDescription
keystringUnique key identifier for a given template column

must_existbooleanColumn must be mapped
default_valuestringAutomatically replace empty cells with provided default value
mapping_hintsstring[]Array of sheet column names to automatically map this column to

Sample Usage

Below is an example use case for a number of overrides to a sample template with key crm_test. We are:

  • Replacing the valid picklist values on column segment to ["A", "B"]
  • Updating column phone_number to be both required and unique
  • Updating the description and label of column metadata
const importer = oneSchemaImporter({
  clientId: "CLIENT_ID",
  userJwt: "USER_JWT",
  templateKey: "crm_test",
  templateOverrides: {
    columns: [
      {
        key: "segment",
        validation_options: {
          values: ["A", "B"],
        },
      },
      {
        key: "phone_number",
        is_required: true,
        is_unique: true,
      },
      {
        key: "metadata",
        label: "Customer Info",
        description: "Provide any additional metadata about the customer as freeform text."
      } 
    ],
  },
})

Customization Overrides

When to override

  • Updating branding options for specific customers.

If you are using our SDK to initialize your importer, pass in customizationOverrides as part of the OneSchemaLaunchParams.

If you are using the API, pass in customization_overrides to the Create an Embedded Session endpoint.

A comprehensive list of all customization options can be found on the Customizations page.

Sample Usage

Below is an example of how to pass in customizationOverrides to the base JavaScript SDK. These options will:

  • Update the primaryColor to be "#FF0000"
  • Show the informational sidebar on upload pane
  • Change the import experience to be "ignoreErrors"
const importer = oneSchemaImporter({
  clientId: "CLIENT_NAME",
  userJwt: "USER_JWT",
  templateKey: "crm_test",
  customizationOverrides: {
   primaryColor: "#FF0000",
   uploaderShowSidebar: true,
   importErrorUX: "ignoreErrors"
  },
})
