Create new Attributes
Individually
Click on "Admin" in the top right corner, then select "Product Info".
On the Product Info page, ensure that the "Attributes" tab is selected, and click the "Add Attribute" button on the right.
Give the new Attribute a name ①. This name must be unique, and cannot already be in use.
Next, select the Attribute's data type ②. An Attribute can have one of four data types.
- Text, Number, Date
These data types indicate which type of entry this attribute should be used for. - Image
This data type is used to assign image assets to a product. Attributes with this data type can only be assigned to "Image Groups"
Lastly, select the Group ③ to which the Attribute will belong. The amount of Groups available under this drop-down will change, depending on the setup of your Product Hub. However, you will at least see the following two default groups.
- None
This is the default for new Attributes. The "None" Group cannot be assigned to a Product Type, making its Attributes unavailable. - General
The "General" section determines which Attributes are visible in the Product Details tab. Any Attribute assigned here will be displayed on every Product.
Once you have entered all the Attribute's details, click "Add Attribute".
In bulk
To save time, you can create multiple new Attributes at once. After you have started the process and have been forwarded to the "Add Attribute" page, do not fill out the three fields. Instead, click on "Add Bulk Attributes".
Under "Attribute Names" enter the names of all the Attributes you wish to create, separated by commas. Once your list is complete, click "Next".
You can now change the name, set the data type, and select a Group for each Attribute.
To delete an entry from the list, click the -icon to the right of the Attribute.
To add more Attributes to the list, click on "Add Attribute".
Once all Attributes have been set up to your liking, click "Add Bulk Attributes" to create them.
Manage existing Attributes
|
Please note: Attributes can be edited or deleted even if in use, which may alter or remove associated Product Details from affected Products. Deleted Attributes are not sent to the Trash, and cannot be recovered. |
Edit an Attribute
Attributes are incredibly versatile, and each aspect of an Attribute can be adjusted after it has been created. To do so, open the Product Info page, and select the "Attributes" tab. Next, find the attribute you wish to update, either by manually looking through the list of attributes, or by using the search bar in the top right to search for the Attribute's name.
Once you have found the Attribute of your choice, click on it.
You can now change the name, data type, and group of your attribute. Click "Save" in the top right to finalize the update.
Update the Product's name, data type or Group as desired, then click "Save".
Delete an Attribute
There are two options to delete an Attribute. First, follow the same steps as if you were to edit it.
Once you have found the Attribute and opened it, click the -icon next to the "Edit"-button, and select "Delete".
Alternatively, you can click the "Edit" button first. Instead of changing the Attribute's details, click the -icon next to the "Cancel"-button, and select "Delete".
Either option will show a confirmation dialog. Click "OK" to delete the Attribute.
