Product Metadata can be configured in PRONTO Web Maintenance for use on the website. There are four main steps:
- Specify the Metadata Table (indicates where metadata will be stored in the database)
- Create Metadata Codes (feature types, e.g. Colour, Size, Material)
- Create Metadata Values (features assigned at product level, e.g. Green, 1800mmL, Aluminium)
- Assign Metadata to Products
