Details
New PDS Channel Metric
The new PDS Channel Metric allows users the ability to measure the quality and completeness of a product compared to the data standard of a retail channel in PDS before syndicating it to the PDS channel. The quality and completeness scores are displayed in the sufficiency panel, which is located in the Web UI.
To view the data produced by the PDS Channel Metric in the sufficiency panel in the Web UI, the add-on components 'pds-sufficiency-link' and ‘data-sufficiency’ must be installed on your system in addition to the normal update procedures for 9.3. This component provides the ability to deserialize preflight data from PDS when used in a sufficiency context; additionally, it allows PDS users that are not using sufficiencies to not have to apply a separate sufficiency component to their system.
Instructions for installing components can be found in the SPOT Program topic in the System Administration Guide found in Downloadable Documentation.
The following license must also be enabled. Contact your account manager to enable licenses for your system.
