prduct.com has a lot of pre-defined attributes (datapoints), but in some cases you would like to define your own attributes.
How to create a new custom attribute?
Go to the "data" tab and head to the "Data models" tab.
Scroll down the "custom attributes" headline. Here you can see, edit and delete all your custom attributes.
Create a new attribute with the green bottom "Create Custom attribute".
Set up basic information:
Label name - the displayed name for the user.
Model name - the unique name for the system to recognize the attribute. You can call this the same, but the model name need to be unique and may only contain letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.
Description - optional if you want to add an explanation for the attribute.
Should the attribute be translatable – Enable this feature if the attribute should vary depending on the selected language. Learn more here.
Choose what documents this attribute should be available for. Etc. products, batch, Invoice an so on.
Set up the fields that should be a part of the attribute. This could be a text field, number, file or a multi select option. You drag and drop the fields from the left to the right. You can edit each field by clicking on the name of the field.
Pres "Save Attribute" when you are done.
You can now add this attribute to the documents you have choose for it to be active on or as part of a datamodel.
Should the attribute be translatable?
When creating a custom attribute, you can choose whether the attribute should vary depending on the selected language. This feature should only be enabled for attributes that are language-dependent. Activate it only if you are working with multiple language layers.
General recommendation: A product description, a price, or a country-specific attribute will typically vary depending on whether it relates to a Danish or English market/context. In contrast, an ID number, weight, or dimensions usually do not change, regardless of whether you are working in an English or Danish environment.
