New Attribute

Use this section to add defining attributes to a product or descriptive attributes to a catalog entry.

Language
The language of your attribute. If your store supports more than one locale, a list displays all languages and you must select the appropriate one. If your store only supports one locale, then the read-only field displays your store's default language.
Attribute
The name of the attribute associated with the product, such as color and size. The attribute name is determined when the product group is created. For example, the product group "Men's carpenter jeans" can have two attributes: color and size. Each product within this group includes color and size values, such as "Men's carpenter jeans, indigo blue, 36 inch waist and 38 inch length".
Description
Type the description for the attribute.
Type
Select the type of attribute:
  • Text: a text entry, such as the name of a color
  • Whole Number: a whole number, such as a numeric size (10).
  • Decimal Number: a decimal number, such as a shoe size (8.5).

Use this section to add attributes values to the new attribute.

Reference Value
The name of your attribute associated with the product, such as color and size, in your store's default language. If your store supports more than one locale, then this name remains static and does not change with each different language.
Value
The name of the attribute associated with the product, such as color and size. The attribute name is determined when the product group is created. For example, the product group "Men's carpenter jeans" can have two attributes: color and size. Each product within this group includes color and size values, such as "Men's carpenter jeans, indigo blue, 36 inch waist and 38 inch length". Unlike the Reference Value field, if your store supports more than one locale, then this name changes to match each different language.
