Static Records consist of all data required to support enhanced content on a product for the platform it is being published to. If more than one product is associated with a Static Record, the information will be duplicated for all associated products with no ability to make content unique.
For information on how to create a Template that has Dynamic Records associated with it (records that do differ from one another but are associated with one Template), refer to the Templates topic in this documentation.
Landing On the Static Records Page
On the Channel Dashboard, clicking the Static Records graph bar or details link brings the user to the Static Records screen. This provides users with access to a repository containing all created Static Records.
To better navigate this list, a filter can be used to tailor the list, making it easier to find the needed information. For more on filtering, refer to the Filtering topic in this documentation.
Selecting Channels and Languages
Note: Only channels and languages configured for the user in PDX will display as options in the dropdowns.
-
Click the arrow in the dropdown list under Channels. This will display all available channels to choose from. In the example below, the "Amazon SP- API US Seller" channel is selected.
-
Next, click the arrow in the dropdown list under Languages. Select the desired language for that channel by either clicking directly on the language, or searching for it using the search field. In the example below, the "English (United States)" language is selected.
Change the viewed records by selecting different channels or languages from the dropdown lists.
Column Headers
The column headers on the Static Records page display all basic information about a created record's status at a single glance. They are as follows: Name, Status, External ID, Last Updated, Published.

-
Status: This value displays the phase that the Static Record is currently in. For example, "Publishing" means that the records was Approved and sent to the third party system for evaluation to be published.
-

-
Last Updated: The date and time that the Static Record was last edited and saved.
-
Published: The date and time that the Static Record was last pushed to the Enhanced Content platform.

Creating Static Records
Static Records can be created in one of two ways:
-
If no records have been created yet, the user can either click on the Create new, button in the center of the page, or click on the upper-right dropdown menu, and select Add new record.
-
If there are existing Static Records, users are able to click on the upper-right dropdown menu and select Add new record.
Clicking either of these options brings up a new Enhanced Content page where a new Static Record can be created.
Opening an Existing Static Record
Clicking on an existing Static Record brings the user to the Static Records page. For more information on interacting with Static Records, refer to the Static Record Tab Offerings topic.
