the Attribute Setup window enables an administrator to:
■ Create new attributes.
■ Delete attributes.
■ Modify existing attributes titles, codes or descriptions.
■ Add values to attributes.
■ Modify values.
Note: Every attribute must be created and complete with values before you add child products. Modify every attribute before continuing.
A single attribute may be used for several products. You do not need to form new attributes for every master product.
For example, any number of values may be added to a single color attribute. Not all of the colors will display on an item's page. The page only shows that item's available colors.
A pair of pants possessing only two color choices, black and blue, uses the same color attribute as a shirt with 25 different color choices. At the pants information page, viewers see a drop-down menu with 2 choices. At the shirt's page, shoppers see 25 choices. The same color attribute is linked to both products.
