Edit a Catalog Custom Attribute

Overview​

You can edit created Catalog Custom Attributes and update the content of the attribute definitions.

Purpose​

The editing feature for Catalog Custom Attributes is used to modify the content or change display settings for attribute definitions that are already created and in use.

The goal is to centrally manage information and continuously maintain the definitions of input fields common to all Catalogs within a Brand.

This also helps in standardizing operations and preventing dependency on specific individuals.

Feature Description​

What are Catalog Custom Attributes?​

Catalog Custom Attributes are a feature to create fields for registering arbitrary data to a Catalog using a combination of "Attribute Name" and "Value."

Each "Attribute Name (field name)" is treated as a management unit and is provided as a common input field for all Catalogs within the Brand.

For the created attributes, you can register a corresponding "Value" for each individual Catalog.

For the procedure to create Custom Attributes, please refer to Create a Catalog Custom Attribute.

Main Usage Examples (Apparel Products):

  • Season: Spring/Summer, Autumn/Winter
  • Area: Domestic, Overseas
