Enrichments

An enrichment takes a rough product file (a supplier sheet, an ERP export, a DataX file) and returns every product with your fields filled in and classified to your taxonomy.

1Setting up a job

Open the Enrich tab. A job needs an input file and an enrichment definition, nothing else.

The Enrich setup screen: upload card, Define your enrichment card, Run All button
Markers: the Enrich tab in the sidebar, and Import from, where your templates live. Credits top left, history top right.
  1. 1

    Upload your products

    Drop any CSV or Excel file exactly as you received it. Columns are detected automatically; a part number and a brand are enough.
  2. 2

    Pick your template

    Import from then Templates. A template carries everything: output fields, taxonomy, web search, image handling, and your source rules (manufacturer sites first, your banned list excluded).
  3. 3

    Run

    Press Run All. A full enrichment costs the same as a partial one, so always run your full template.
The Import from menu showing Recent Job, Catalogs and Templates
Import from: Recent Job, Catalogs, or Templates. Templates are the normal starting point.
You can also send batches by email. Send a file to your Rastro contact and you get the finished enrichment back, same as running it in the app.

2Fields and templates

The enrichment definition is what makes the output yours. A template is simply a saved definition we maintain for you; you can also build or adjust one by hand.

Fields to Enrich
The list of fields Rastro fills, each with a type, a description and optional rules. This is where most of the quality comes from.
Taxonomy
Your family tree. Products are classified into it, and family-specific attributes are extracted.
Web Search
On or off, plus Allowed Domains to restrict which sites Rastro may read.
Specific instructions
Plain-language rules that apply to the whole job, for example "Only pull from supplier sites" or "Prefer metric units".
  1. 1

    Add a field

    Click Add field in the Fields to Enrich section. Give it a name (this becomes the column header) and a type: text, number, URL, image or PDF, single value or list.
  2. 2

    Describe it like you would brief a person

    The description tells the AI what the field contains, where to look, and how to write it. Include the format you want and when to leave it blank. This one sentence is the highest-leverage thing you can edit.
  3. 3

    Constrain it

    Required and Allowed (a fixed list of values) sit next to the type. More opens sample values, a unit, and validators such as a regex pattern or length limits. Values that break a rule are flagged instead of exported silently.

  1. 1

    Tweak a template for one run

    Pick the template, then edit anything in the loaded definition: add a field, sharpen a description, toggle web search. The change applies to that run only; the template itself stays as we configured it.
  2. 2

    Repeat a past setup exactly

    Import from then Recent Job loads the exact configuration of any previous run, including one-off tweaks. This is the easiest way to keep batches consistent.
  3. 3

    Make a change permanent

    Templates are managed by Rastro, so a tweak you want on every future batch is a one-line message to us (or use Add template for a whole new destination). We update it, and every run from then on picks it up.

3Validating a job

The results table shows one row per product, one column per field. One rule governs everything: a field is left blank rather than guessed.

Ready: every value confirmedNeeds review: wants a human look

Markers, left to right: the Filter control, the row expand icon, and the Audit tab.
  1. 1

    Filter to what needs a look

    Click Filter in the table header and pick Needs review. Flagged rows still export; they are just marked. What gets flagged is tunable: tell us in plain language what deserves a human look and we bake it into your template.
  2. 2

    Work through the audit

    The Audit panel is where Rastro suggests changes to your taxonomy, for example an attribute it thinks a family is missing. Expand a suggestion to see the affected items, approve or dismiss it, then Apply feedback. Approved changes are applied within the catalog.
  3. 3

    Open a product to see the evidence

    The expand icon opens the product. Output shows every field; Sources shows the input row and each web source used. Every field keeps its explanation and sources permanently, so "why is there an image but no dimensions" is answered here, not in an email thread. Use the arrows at the top right to step to the next product without leaving the view.

4Exporting

Export menu showing CSV, ADI Custom Export, ADI Image Zip Export and Add custom export
The Export menu on a real account: CSV plus custom exports matching the customer's own template.
CSV
A plain file with every visible field.
Your custom exports
Built to your import spec: your exact columns in your exact order, empty columns dropped, separate tabs for import-ready rows, review rows and AI explanations, plus a ReadMe tab explaining the columns.
Images and documents
Every image and PDF is re-hosted on Rastro servers with a stable public URL, exportable as an asset file matching your PIM media format (labels, codes, image priority).
Add custom export
Request a new format from inside the menu and we build it for you.

To keep working on the data in Rastro instead, save the results as a catalog. See the catalogs guide.

5Finding old jobs

The clock icon at the top right of the Enrich screen opens Enrichment History.

  1. 1

    Jobs: every past run

    File name, items completed, field count and template. Click one to reopen its results exactly as you left them.
  2. 2

    Products: search by part number

    Type an id into Search by id to see when a product was last enriched, and click through to its full output.
  3. 3

    Share a run

    Every enrichment has a permanent link. Copy the URL and anyone in your organization opens the same results.
