Change the Product Attribute Display Sequence in the Product Console
In the product catalog, you can override or update the display sequence for the attribute and the attribute category in the context of the product.
An attribute category contains a set of attributes with a default display sequence. When the attributes are associated with a product, the attribute display sequences are inherited. You can choose to either accept or override the default display sequence of the attributes within the attribute category.
For a standalone product, the ability to change the attribute display sequence is on the attribute assignment. The display sequence of an attribute represents the order of an attribute within an attribute category.
-
Product: iPhone8:
-
Attr.Category: Mobile_Handset (Seq:11): This sequence represents the sequence of attribute category for the iPhone8.
-
Attr: 1. Color (Red, White, Black): 1 represents the sequence of attributes within the Mobile_Handset category.
-
Attr: 2. Storage (32 G, 64 G).
-
-
Attr.Category: Mobile_Handset_Manufacturer (Seq:12): This sequence also represents the sequence of attribute category for the iPhone8.
-
Attr: 1. Manufacturer: 1 represents the sequence of attributes within the Mobile_Handset category.
-
Attr: 2. Model.
-
-
When adding the above product to the CPQ cart, the attribute and attribute category appear in the cart according to the sequence defined above.
Now, for a Samsung Galaxy Phone, you can use the same attributes as you did for the iPhone8 but in a different sequence, as follows:
-
Product: Samsung Galaxy:
-
Attr.Category: Mobile_Handset (Seq: -11- 12): This sequence represents the sequence of attribute category for the iPhone8.
-
Attr: 1>2. Color (Red, White, Black): 2 represents the sequence of attributes within the Mobile_Handset category.
-
Attr: -2 -1. Storage (32 G, 64 G).
-
-
Attr.Category: Mobile_Handset_Manufacturer (Seq:12>11): This sequence also represents the sequence of attribute category for the iPhone8.
-
Attr: 1>2. Manufacturer: 1 represents the sequence of attributes within the Mobile_Handset category.
-
Attr: 2>1. Model.
-
-
When adding the Samsung Galaxy product to the CPQ cart, the attribute and attribute category appear in the overridden display sequence.
