How to use the fix errors Tab

Step-by-step guide to using Elovate’s Fix Errors tab to quickly resolve import validation issues before running your job.

Updated this week

Overview

The Fix errors tab in Elovate lets you quickly resolve issues detected during import validation.

You can choose to skip data, transform incorrect values, or even create new attribute options — all without editing your original file.


When to use it

  • You’ve validated your import file and errors are reported.

  • You need to correct or bypass issues directly in Elovate.

  • You want to ensure a clean import without file re-uploads.


How to access it

  1. Go to Import → Select your import job.

  2. Click Validate import.

  3. Open the Fix errors tab.

What It Does

Example

Skip value

Ignores the incorrect field for that product but imports the rest.

Wrong color value is skipped, rest of the product data imports.

Skip item

Skips the entire product row from the import.

Problematic SKU is excluded from the import entirely.

Attribute

Allows you to transform the incorrect value into an existing valid one.

Change "Blak" → "Black".

Add new option

Creates a new attribute option in Magento directly from Elovate.

Add "Neon Green" as a new color option.


Example workflow

  1. Import file contains color value "Blak" (invalid).

  2. In Fix errors, choose one of the following:

    • Attribute to transform it to "Zwart".

    • Add new option to create "Blak" as a valid color in Magento.

  3. Click Save settings and Validate import.

  4. Once no errors remain, click Run import.


Tips for success

  • Always validate before import to avoid Magento rejections.

  • Use Add new option only when the value is truly missing from Magento.

  • Fix recurring issues at the source file to reduce manual work.
