To ensure an optimal user experience with our solution, we have defined a list of accepted characters based on the different field types available in the tool. These restrictions have been implemented to minimize the risks of data corruption, incompatibilities, and performance issues that could arise when managing and handling product information.

The allowed characters vary depending on the field type, ensuring better data integrity while optimizing processing and display operations. It is important for users to comply with these specifications to maintain the system’s resilience and reliability.

This section details the accepted characters for each field type, and we strongly recommend following these guidelines when entering and importing data into the system. If you have any doubts or if your needs require specific configurations, our CSM team is available to assist you and provide tailored solutions.
