Mass creating styles

You can create multiple styles simultaneously by using info clusters. Info clusters are sets of data from existing records that you can reuse to mass create styles.

  1. In the Style window, right-click a record and select Mass Create.
  2. Specify this information:
    Copy data from (field)
    You can create multiple styles using a single source only. Select a style to automatically populate all info clusters in the Copy data from column.
    Note: All styles listed in the Copy data from field and Source Styles pane respects the style hierarchy setup.
    Info Cluster
    Select info clusters to be copied.
    Copy data from (column)
    By default, the data from the style you selected in the Copy data from field is copied.

    To copy data from another style:

    1. Select an info cluster.
    2. Click the Source Styles icon.
    3. Select a style, then click ADD, or drag a style from the Style Library to the Copy data from column.
    Note: Different source style can be assigned on each info cluster. Dependency of one info cluster to another should be considered when using this feature.
    Details
    For certain info clusters, you can select details to be copied.
  3. In the Settings section, specify this information:
    Number Prefix
    If a number generator rule is set up for styles, the created styles get generated IDs, and this field is disabled.

    Otherwise, specify a number prefix. The generated ID will include the number prefix that you specify and the system defined number series.

    The first four digit of the system defined number series pertains to the current year. This value changes yearly. It is then followed by a six digit number that increments. Here is an example of the number series, 2019000001, 2019000002, and so on.

    Style Name
    Specify a name for the style.
    Note: If a name is specified, the value is used on all created styles. If this field remained blank after executing mass create, then the created styles will use the name of the source style in the Overview info cluster.
    Description
    Specify a brief description.
    Note: If a description is specified, the value is used on all created styles. If this field remained blank after executing mass create, then the created styles will use the description of the source style in the Overview info cluster.
    No. of Copies
    Specify the number of items to be created.

    The maximum value is defined in the settings. See the Infor CloudSuite PLM for Fashion Administration Guide.
