Logs
In the History section of your BigCommerce App, you can conveniently review all previous imports you have performed.
The imports are organized in chronological order, with the newest import appearing at the top. Please note that the list is limited to the 30 most recent imports for easy navigation and reference.
Within the History tab, you can find the following essential information related to each import:
1. Starting date and time: This indicates the exact date and time when the import process was initiated.
2. Duration: This refers to the duration it took for the import to complete its execution.
3. Type: The synchronization type can be categorized as either "full" or "delta." A "full" import signifies that all data was imported, while a "delta" import indicates that only the modified or updated data was imported.
4. Scope: The scope denotes the type of job import performed. Currently, there are two available job types:
- Products: This job type focuses on importing product-related data.
- Products with variants: This job type focuses on importing products with variants-related data.
5. Status: For detailed information regarding the synchronization status, please refer to the dedicated Synchronization status section.
6. Message: The Message section provides an overview of the overall health of your job import. To explore further details about the import, simply click on "See logs." This will direct you to a detailed list of job logs categorized by product or other relevant categories.
7. Logs: Within the detailed logs page, you will find errors and warnings associated with the import process. These error messages are designed to be clear and direct, assisting you in identifying and resolving any potential issues that may arise during the import.
