When you create your feed, set the default and top level values to true if most of your products will be included, or false if most of them need to be excluded.

When the data is available, you need to go to the options page for the feed you wish to customise and check the �Check value before including� box, then click on the SELECT button to add the appropriate variable to your feed options. � You can use the same variable in Actinic / Sellerdeck for several feeds but you have to set up the Include / Exclude option in each of them.
