Assign characteristics to an item

Assign characteristics to an item

Organizing your items into item categories helps you to maintain an overview of your items and to sort and find them. However, to find items by more detailed characteristics, you can assign item attributes to items and item categories.

Set up item attributes

When customers inquire about an item, whether in correspondence or in an integrated web shop, they might inquire or search according to characteristics, such as height and model year. To provide this customer service, you can assign item attribute values of different types to your items based on specific requirements, which can then be used when you are searching for items.

You can also assign item attributes to item categories, which then apply to the items that use the item categories.

If an item has a picture, you can use the Image Analyzer extension to automatically detect attributes in the image and suggest the attributes so that you can decide whether to assign them or not.

To create item attributes, select the search for page icon in the upper-right corner of the page, enter Item Attributes, and then select the related link.

On the Item Attributes page, select the New action and then fill in the fields, as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

If you select Option in the Type field, you can select the Item Attribute Values action to create values for the item attribute.

To create values for item attributes of the type Option, select the lookup icon, enter Item Attributes, and then choose the related link.
