Before you start, you will need to be in an open change package in the Staging environment |
- Go to Merchandising > Taxonomy > Attributes
- A list of all the current attributes will appear, click 'Add New' in the top right
- You will be shown a form to create the attribute
- Name should be in 'camel case' and URL segment should be the name separated by dashes.
- Next choose a type - the type defines how the attribute behaves. String = Text, Integer = Whole Number, Date, Decimal = Number with decimal places, Money = Monetary Value, Boolean = True/False indicator, Image, Snippet or Timestamp
- Icon media handle is only needed for 'Image' type. Next choose an entity for the attribute to work for -
- Media Class is only needed if the Type is an Image. Then choose the tick boxes for how the attribute should behave - they can all be left blank if needed.
- Enter a display name - this will be how it shows to the user
- Save the attribute and you will see a new tab appear - this changes depending on the type and tick boxes you have selected and sometimes no tab will show if it's not required.
- If attribute options tab appears, then these will need filling to provide a drop down of options
