ITScope Dashboard
The dashboard is the page for daily work with the ITscope connector. Setup deliberately does not happen here — it runs via the supplier card and the setup wizard.
Import Overview
The central supplier monitor shows the key figures of the last import:
| Tile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total offers | All imported distributor offers, with the number of distributors |
| In stock | Offers with available stock |
| With price | Offers with a net price |
| Linked to BC item | Offers assigned to a Business Central item — only these are visible to the price engine |
| Distributors active | Active vendor mappings; below it the number of distributors still waiting for an assignment |
| New manufacturers | Manufacturers that entered the catalog since the last review |
The section "Last import — where did the lines go?" breaks down why lines were skipped (no distributor assigned, manufacturer filter, unreadable lines, without product master).
Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Execute Import | Runs all active ITscope imports (full and update export) |
| Import from File | Feeds in a manually downloaded export ZIP |
| Supplier Data | Opens the imported offers (filtered to ITSCOPE) |
| Orders | Opens the ITscope orders with their cart and deal status |
ITscope throttles repeated downloads
ITscope builds the export when the link is called and throttles too many downloads in a row — up to locking the account. For test and repeat runs, download the export ZIP once in the browser and feed it in via Import from File as often as needed.
The download waits up to five minutes
Business Central online caps the wait time of a download at five minutes. If ITscope needs longer to build the full export, the import reports a timeout — wait briefly and run again (the file built in the meantime then arrives in seconds), or use the file import.
