Attribute categories aren't required, but they can help you to organize complex sets of attributes. Let's explore an example.
Computer memory comes in all kinds of RAM chips like 8GB DDR3, 16GB DDR4, and so on. Imagine you have dozens of these options availabe to sell. To help your sales reps locate these attributes quickly, create an attribute category called Memory and assign all the individual attibutes for memory to it. That way your reps can find all memory options in one conveinent place.
Now that you've seen an example, here's how to create an attribute category:
- From the Product Catalog Management app’s home page, click Attribute Categories.
- From the Attribute Categories list view, click New.
-
In the New Attribute Category window, enter these field values:
- Enter a name and description for the attribute category.
- Enter a unique code for the attribute category.
- Save your changes.
Assign Attributes to Attribute Categories in Revenue Cloud
After creating your attributes, you can group attributes by assigning them to attribute categories. You can then assign these attribute categories to product classifications to quickly assign the entire group of attributes.
- From the Product Catalog Management app’s home page, click Attribute Categories.
- From the Attribute Categories list view, click the attribute category to which you want to assign attributes.
- In the related list for an attribute category, from the Attributes section, click Assign.
-
Select one or more attributes from the list or search for attributes and then click
Assign.
Note You can assign only active attributes to an attribute category.
-
You can also use the Attributes section within the Attribute Category related list to
unassign attributes from an attribute category.
Note Before you unassign attributes from an attribute category, make sure that the attribute to attribute category combination isn’t used by any product classification or product.
- Use Related Product Classification Attributes and Related Product Attributes related lists to determine the product classifications or products to which such attributes are assigned.
- Delete these attributes from the product classification or products, and then unassign the attributes from the category.
