Assign Attributes and Fields for an Object Type
You can create attributes to define the characteristics of products. Each attribute is associated with an attribute category. The association of an attribute to an Object type or product is called Attribute Assignment. You assign attributes to a product Object type and these attributes are later inherited by the child object types when you add them.
You can only assign attributes and fields that you have previously created. For guidelines on when to use fields vs. attributes, refer to Attributes vs. Fields.
- In the Product Console, under Metadata, click the search icon next to Object. Click the Base Object type.
- Select the object. For example, Product2 object.
- Click the Object types facet.
- Select the object type to which you want to assign attributes and fields. For example, SmartPhone Product spec.
-
Click the Assign Attributes/Fields tab.
The attributes and fields that can be assigned to the Object type appear on the right side.
- Select the attributes and fields by selecting the corresponding checkboxes.
-
Click Assign.
EPC assigns the selected attributes and fields to the base object type.
- When you add an attribute to an existing object type that is associated with products, run the EPCProductAttribJSONBatchJob job.
- If an associated product has at least one attribute with an override, run the EPCFixCompiledAttributeOverrideBatchJob.
