Assigning Product Attributes in Data Grid

Once Filter Categories and Attributes have been set up for your commerce site, products can be assigned to Attributes.

There are several ways to assign products to Attributes depending on how you work with product data. The Data grid can be used when working with large amounts of data, with the ability to make mass updates to products with the same Attributes.

• Navigate to “Products” under the PIM section in the Portal
• Select the “Attributes Assignment” tab

You can also select the columns you want to see by choosing the “Show/Hide Columns” icon. If you reference the same columns every time, it may be helpful to save your filter selection for future use.

Depending on your workflow, some helpful columns could be:

• Code – helpful if the code is used for reference or searching
• Name – can be helpful when assigning attributes
• Created – helpful to sort by created date to find newly added products
• Primary Category Code – this field should only be used for new products and the "do_not_display" category if they are being used as part of the PIM Workflow
• Attribute Columns – select as many attribute columns as needed for your products
• PIM Status – if you are using the Kodaris PIM system to track the status of products, it can be helpful to have this column selected – especially if you would like to filter on complete products that are ready to be categorized.
• PIM Attribute Status – if you are using the Kodaris PIM system to track the status of attributes, it can be helpful to have this column selected – especially if you would like to filter on products that are ready for attributes to be updated, QA’d, or completed.

There are several ways to find the products that you need to update. One way is to filter on the product code or keywords in the name. You can also use the search bar at the top of the grid – though this will pull results from all product fields.

If you are using the PIM Category as part of your workflow, you can also filter on a specific PIM Category to work on a group of products.

Updating the essential information is simple – just double-click into a field and edit. For example, if you have the option for a dropdown, you will select the correct option for your use. Or if you can start typing into the cell to find your attribute.

Any fields or dropdowns that can be updated are autosaved once you click out of the field or dropdown.

Repeat the process until you have added all attributes associated with the product.
