System Objects Custom Attribute Tutorial
You can create a new custom attribute of the Product object: to reflect that shoes are made up of multiple materials. The new attribute is named Upper Material.
- Select Adminstration > Site Development > System Object Types.
- Select the Product object link and
then the Attribute Definitions tab.
Notice the list of attribute definitions already created for this system object.
- Click New to create a new attribute for this system object.
- Supply an ID, Name, and Value Type for the new attribute and
click Apply. In this case, because we need many string values for
the attribute, we select "Enum of Strings" as the value type:
Field Value ID UpMaterial Display Name Upper Material Value Type Set of String Note: If you change the language or type, you must confirm the change before it's applied. Changing the language or type of an attribute causes existing values of that attribute to be lost. - In the Attribute Value Range Definition, enter the values,
one-by-one and click Apply.
