MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Add product features online in the CMS rather than retrieve them from the ERP. These features are used by filters to help customers narrow down their search results to the products that are best matches. 


When you offer a range of similar products, your shoppers are likely to choose one over another based on their preferences for specific product attributes. For some, brand or country of origin might be key, others may prioritise price or colour.


Product Features allows you to create any number of meaningful properties as product metadata. Products can then be tagged with one or multiple feature values in Product Maintenance. You can then choose when to display a product feature to shoppers.

In the past, product feature data have always been integrated from the ERP. You can now maintain features in the CMS. 

Warning

Commerce Vision recommends that applying Product Features to products be done on all products at once rather than in stages. This will minimise exclusion of products without features from searches.


Prerequisites

In order to maintain product features online, here's what needs to be configured: 

Enable Product Features

To enable Product Features:

  1. In the CMS, go to Settings → → Settings → Feature ManagementProducts & CategoriesProduct Features.
     

  2. Toggle ON Product Features.

  3. Once enabled, Product Features appears on the Products & Categories menu.

Enter Field Group Details (optional)

This is an advanced feature that has to be implemented by Commerce Vision.


To add the field group name:

  1. Go to Settings → → Settings → Feature ManagementProducts & CategoriesProduct Features.

  2. Click Configure.

  3. Click Add Group.

  4. Enter the field group name.

  5. To save and enter another group, click Save. To exit from this page, click Save & Exit.


Integrator Custom Tables Setting (PRONTO only)

  1. Open the Integrator client and click the 'Set Options' link for Custom Tables.

  2. Ensure these tables are not enabled: "stock-master-extra-detail->CUSTOM_STockMasterExtraDetail" and "sytem-table→system_table".

If they are selected, de-select them and click OK.


Once your site is configured as above, you're ready to maintain all of your product feature metadata in the CMS!

A Product Feature is an abstract property that can have two or more values. Some examples are: colour, brand, age group, country of origin, etc. Once created, a product can be tagged with a feature value in Product Maintenance.
