How do I manage Channel Attributes?

Here is a guide to managing Channel Attributes in the PIM Module.

To view all Channel Attributes, in PIM, go to Settings > Products > Channel Attributes. Here you will see each and every channel attribute for the channels you sell on. These are created when importing channel templates during Channel Integration. They can also be imported from a standard format or created manually.

At the bottom of the page, expand the Results per page to show all of the results.

Now, you can sort by various columns. 

You can also search for specific attributes directly and filter by Channel.

Import from Channel Template

In PIM, go to settings > Channel > Channel Integrations > click on the channel you want to import a template to. 

Go to the Integration Template tab.  Click Import Custom Template.

Name the template in DB and import it either by dragging it into the grey box or clicking anywhere in the box to find it on your device.  Click Submit.

Then, in the Channel Attributes tab, when you click into the field Choose templates to create channel attributes, you will see all of the named templates appear. Select whichever ones you want and click Save.

This has created channel attributes in DB. 

Importing Attributes from Standard Format

To import attributes from a channel, go to Settings > Products > Channel Attributes. Click Import.

Click Download Template.

This will download the generic template for you to fill in. Fill in the Attribute column and populate columns B, E, and G with the default values found in Row 2 of each of those columns. Save your spreadsheet.

Back in PIM, in the Import Attributes window that is still open, select the channel from the dropdown.

Drag your spreadsheet file into the grey box or click to select a file. Click Ok.

Creating Attributes Manually

To manually create an attribute, click Add. 

Select the appropriate channel from the dropdown. Enter a name for the attribute as well as any other relevant fields. If this attribute is a list, create the dropdown options. Determine whether it is pricing-related or not. Click Save when done.

Deleting Attributes

It is also possible to delete attributes by selecting the attributes you wish to delete and clicking the Delete button. 

Export

You can also export the complete list of attributes by clicking Export.
