Product Attribute functionality allows multiple products to be grouped together online. This is useful for products which have many variations such as size, colour, style, and so forth.
In order to use Product Attributes, a Master product code must first be set up in PRONTO. The Master code should adhere to the following guidelines:
- Item Type - Z
- Issue Control - U
- A relatively generic description (no colour/size indicated, as these are contained in the 'child' product code)
- The same product group hierarchy as the child product code.
- Tax Code - 1
(need more generic pronto screenshot - this is placeholder/reminder only)
Once the Master product code has been created in PRONTO, it should be added to a web category. Then the product attributes may be configured.
Step-by-step guide
To configure Product Attributes:
- Login as an Administrator.
- Navigate to 'Content' --> 'Product Attribute' (ProductAttributemaintenance.aspx).
- Enter the master product code in the input field and 'Search'.
- Select the desired product record via radio button; the 'Details' screen will load.
- Click 'Modify'.
- Tick the box labelled 'Is a Master Product'.
- In the dialogue box, enter the attribute values in the format: "Attribute Title(Attribute List Type{D/R}):Attribute Value,Attribute Value; Attribute Value".
- Values should be determined as follows:
- Attribute Title: the label which will appear to the left of the attribute list (e.g. 'Size' or 'Colour').
- Attribute List Type: D - drop-down list, R - radio buttons.
- Attribute Value: the value which will appear in the attribute list (e.g. 'Size 3' or 'Orange').
Click 'OK' to save.
The last Attribute Value in the list should not be followed by a comma.
If there are to be multiple attribute lists (e.g. 'Size' AND 'Colour'), use a semicolon between the last 'Attribute Value' of the first list, and the 'Attribute Title' of the next list.
Example: Size(D):Size1,Size 2,Size 3,Size 4;Colour(D):Red,Orange,Grey,Green
- Click the 'Attribute combinations' tab.
- Enter the Child product code in the 'SKU' field for the appropriate attribute sequence.
- Repeat Step 11 for all available attribute sequences.
- Tick the 'Checked' box against each record populated with a SKU/product code.
- Click 'Save' to save changes.
