Output �Filename�
Type in the name of the file to store the Google Product Search information to (including the directory). This is the name of the file that Google will be expecting on their website (name registered when your Google Merchant account was set-up). This file must end with .xml (e.g. googleproducts.xml).
Number of days to list items
This is the number of days to list the items on Google's Product Search. The maximum number of days you can list for is 30.
Products to Include
You can choose which products to include based upon a custom variable. This is very similar to the Exclude from Froogle Feed/Google Product Search Data Feed setting within Actinic. If you tick Check value before including you can choose a custom variable (clicking on the Set button). You can then select the custom variable to use to determine if you want to include this product in the feed. You can set the default value to True (include in feed) or False (don't include in feed). This value will be used if a custom variable value has not been assigned to a product.
Custom Properties
These are the mandatory fields that have to be set up before you can produce a feed.
Details of mandatory fields can be found in the article:
How to set up your Google Product Search Feed
The following attributes are also generated in the feed. You can override any of the values at a product or section level by using a custom variable or user defined property.
