Attributes help users view all of the distinguishing qualities of iMIS products grouped under one master product. You assign attributes to child products with codes.
■ The attribute code is used only in the Public view as a way of distinguishing between similar attributes. Shoppers will never view this code.
■ New attributes may only be created before child products are added. To create a new attribute after adding child products, you must remove every product/attribute association and add the attributes again.
■ You cannot assign more than one child product the same set of attributes.
■ Codes are established to differentiate when assigning attributes.
