Managing item attributes

Item attributes are replicated from PIM to e-Commerce. You cannot create item attributes in the Business Center, but you can manage how they are viewed in the Item Specification and Filter widgets on your website.

  1. On the Business Center home page, select Items > Attributes.
  2. Select the language for item attributes.
  3. Optionally, filter the display of item attributes by attribute details.

    Item attributes with numeric, HTML, and external link data types are also supported in the Data Type column. These data types are displayed on select widgets and they are helpful for users when viewing the details of an item.

  4. Select an item attribute and specify this information:
    Product Specification
    This option controls whether or not customers can view the attribute in the Item Specification widget.
    Searchable
    This option controls whether or not the attributes are searchable in the web shop.
    Facet Filter
    This option controls whether or not customers can view the attribute in the Facet Filter widget.
    Can Propagate
    This option controls whether or not an attribute is displayed as a facet filter on leaf-level categories only or on all parent-level categories. If enabled, this option propagates an attribute to parent categories whenever the attribute is used as a facet filter. This option enables you to yield more appropriate results based on facets.
  5. Click Save.
