Import Attributes

The Import Attributes is a feature that allows importing of attribute definitions and data so that multiple attributes can be created in one go.

Key Term:
  • Attribute: a data field which describes a product, can also use ‘property’.
Description:
  • It allows the import of a document with a list of different types of attributes: HTML, Text, Number, Price, Concatenated, Measurement, Date, and Standard Attribute.
  • It also allows a user to import attributes in bulk instead of creating them one by one, manually.

Application:

  • The feature allows a user to import the attributes in bulk, thereby, saving a lot of time. It also reduces manual work because a user does not have to create one attribute at a time.

  • Example:

    Supplier A has Products X, Y and Z with 25 attributes each. Rather than inputting all these attributes one by one in the system, Supplier A can collate all information in one document and import it using this feature.
