Audatex Estimating Files

When configuring Audatex Shoplink for exporting estimates, you should use the default settings of the product or make note of where you save your exported data. If you use the default location for Audatex Shoplink, your estimates will be found and displayed automatically when you select Audatex prior to uploading.

Default Export (EMS) File Location

  • C:\SLWIN\EXPORT\2.6

This procedure describes how to enable EMS export and set the primary export directory in ShopLink. ShopLink is not a Mitchell product, and Mitchell does not support or control it. This procedure is believed to be accurate at the time of this release. However, any representations of a non- Mitchell product are subject to change without notice. Contact your system administrator or ShopLink for technical support.

How to

  1. Log on to ShopLink.
  2. On the GoTo menu, click Profiles.
  3. In the left navigation pane, expand the Shop Profile folder, expand the Options folder, and click CIECA-UDS Import/Export. The Shop Profile - CIECA-UDS Import/Export Options window opens in the right pane.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • If either the CIECA 2.01 or CIECA 2.6 check boxes is selected and there is a path in the corresponding Primary Export Directory field, leave it as is. Go to step 7.
    • If neither CIECA check box is selected, continue with step 5.
  5. Select the CIECA 2.6 check box.
  6. In the Primary Export Directory field for the check box, do one of the following:
    • If there is already a path, leave it as is.
    • If the field is blank, type in a path (for example: C:\SLWIN\EXPORT\2.6).

  7. Select the Enforce Mandatory CIECA Export check box. If prompted to create the directory, click Yes.

    This completes the process to enable EMS export and set your export directory in ShopLink. The system will now automatically create and export EMS files to the export directory when an estimate is committed.
