Uploading Product Form Information

When uploading product form information in bulk, there are 4 columns available for you to map:

• Product Form
• Epub Type
• Product Form Detail
• Product Form Description

Product Form refers to the basic form, such as Paperback or Hardback. You can browse the forms available in the Forms tab in Title Manager:

Epub Type is only applicable when uploading e-publications. In this instance, the Product Form would be 'Electronic book text'. You can then use Epublication type to specify if this Epub is a Kindle, or a PDF for example. Again, you can browse the available Epub types by selecting the drop down menu in the Forms tab in Title Manager (visible in the above screenshot).

Product Form Detail refers to the extra detail that you can choose to include about a particular product form, the options for which are taken from Onix Codelist 175. For example, you may wish to specify which sizing convention this form conforms with, or provide more accessibility detail according to the DAISY standard.

Product Form Description is intended for use in cases where product form does not adequately describe the product. In this field, you can provide a short text description to give a more detailed specification of the product form. This information will be displayed in the 'Additional Description' field in the Forms tab in Title Manager (visible in the screenshot above).

Below we have provided an example of an upload that includes all of the above detail. Please note however that you do not have to include all of these fields.
