How to use vehicle filter

Vehicle Filter is a spreadsheet with the headers Year, Make, Model, Submodel. It is created in the client’s folder on GDrive and connected in schema.yaml in the Sources with the key vehicle_filter.

  • Currently, only the Year, Make, Model, Submodel fields are used;
  • You can use the wildcard character * for any field within a single fitment in all fields;
  • * - all possible values, and an empty cell - mandatory absence of a value. For example, “Ford F-150 *” in the Vehicle Filter will pass both “Ford F-150” and “Ford F-150 XL”, whereas “Ford F-150” will pass only “Ford F-150”
  • In the Year field, you can include all the formats of years we support;
  • By default, the Vehicle Filter operates in whitelist mode, meaning only the fitments that match any of the rules will be included in the index;
  • To switch to blacklist mode, you need to create a row with asterisk * in all fields. This literally means “take everything except what is specified below”, i.e., all fitments will be included in the index except those that match any of the other rules;
