ESL User Manual
It is recommended to add any fields that should be displayed on the ESL in the same formatting
as they should be displayed on the ESL. This way the middleware application that generates the
images, wonʼt have to be modified and only the image template has to be customized.
The ESL server application never directly uses the provided CSV files, because the middleware
software actually processes these files. For this reason, only the middleware applications have
to be customized or configured and not the ESL server application itself.
Note 1: Due to the 1-to-1 relation between a product and an ESL, it is currently not possible to
link multiple ESLs to the same product.
Note 2: Database formats other than CSV can be supported, but require modifications to the
existing middleware application, so this is not recommended when time is critical.
