Never split planograms within the same Assortment Group, since 1 Assortment Group = 1 Planogram. The system does not look at the planogram name and having this separation within the same Assortment Group will lead to several problems.
In case you would like to merge planograms, please note:
- "Section Merge" and "Planogram Compare" functions do not work with any file that contains collisions or other merchandising scenarios not supported by Spaceman. Please open these files and convert them separately before attempting merge or compare again.
- When merging a section into a planogram that is a member of a group of planograms, be aware of changes that may happen to all the products in that group. In a group of planograms, any change that you make to a group field in one product is automatically applied to the same group field in all products in all planograms in the group.
