This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to add product attribute sets and product attributes in Omnitron.
Access the Omnitron panel.
Enter your username and password, then click the SIGN IN button.
Navigate to the Product and Catalogs section and click on the Product Attributes page.
On the Product Attributes page, filters and attributes are listed. Static filters for filtering product attributes are displayed in the filter panel.
Below the filter panel, users can view product attributes and choose to display them in sets of 20, 50, 100, or 250 per page.
Attribute Code: Enter the Attribute Code.
Product Attribute Input Type: Commonly used attribute types are text, text_area, and dropdown.
dropdown: Select this type for creating filterable or listable products. Requires entering attribute values, e.g., color, size, season, brand, category, collar type.
text: Select this type for non-selectable attributes like product descriptions. The attribute value information is automatically linked to the product itself, manual input of the attribute value is not necessary.
text_area: Select this type for editing product descriptions within the Omnitron interface. When text_area is selected, the enriched text editor is displayed on the Omnitron product detail page.
Mandatory Attribute: After the product attribute is linked to the attribute set, decide whether the product attribute is mandatory or optional on the product detail page.
Is Visible?: Choose if this product attribute will appear on the site.
Searchable: Specify if the product attribute is searchable on the site.
Is Filterable?: Determine if the product attribute is filterable on the webshop.
Variant Attribute: Define this attribute as a variant of the product.
Is Variant Listable?: List this variant on the sales site by grouping it according to variant attribute values.
Attribute Name: Enter an attribute name visible to customers.
ERP Code: Enter the Attribute ERP Code.
Pre Attribute: Decide if the product attribute is a pre-attribute.
Is Localizable?: If Omnitron supports multiple languages, attributes are generated for the main language. To define attributes for other languages, select the relevant language from the Locales field in the upper right of the Omnitron interface.
Attribute values define selectable fields (for dropdown type). To add values in Omnitron:
Navigate to Products and Catalogs > Product Attribute in the left menu.
Select the relevant dropdown attribute from the attribute list.
Enter the values by clicking the Add button in the table at the bottom of the page.
To update attribute value information, navigate to the Products and Catalogs > Product Attribute in the left menu. Select the relevant attribute with the dropdown type from the attribute list. Changes can be made by clicking the value line that requires updating.
Omnitron's default language is set during the installation process, typically to a language such as English when it's deployed on platforms like Commerce Cloud. However, if the website is intended to be launched in a language other than Omnitron's default, it's essential to input translations for the products in that specific language.
If translation is not provided for the products, the default language of the product is displayed on the website. For instance, if the default language of Omnitron is English and the website is planned to be in German, it is imperative to input German translations for all products intended for sale on the German version of the site. Otherwise, the products will be displayed in English even though the website is set to German.
In the Products and Catalogs section, click on the Product Attribute Sets page.
Below the filter panel, the product attributes are listed, and you have the option to select the attribute display limit, with choices of 20, 50, 100, and 250 per page.
Furthermore, attribute sets are used for grouping attributes or products, determining how products are presented on the site, and configuring how grouped attributes are filtered on the site. This framework is used to define the attributes that a product will possess.
In Omnitron, navigate to Products and Catalogs > Product Attribute Sets from the left-hand menu.
Click the +New Attribute Set button in the top right corner of the Product Attribute Sets page.
Enter a name for Attribute Set and select the Attribute Group Type, then click Save.
After creating an attribute set, a section will be displayed for showing all attributes. Add specific attributes to the set by clicking the "+" button.
In the "Selected Attributes" section, remove a selected attribute using the "-" button.
In the "Selected Attributes" section, edit product attributes by clicking the pencil icon.
The usage of an attribute within the attribute set is defined in this process. For instance, if you need to apply the "color" attribute differently for carpets, clothing, and jewelry, you would use the attribute set. The specific usage of this attribute within the attribute set is defined through the following specifications.
Required: This attribute must be filled in the product within the Attribute set.
Searchable: Mark this attribute as searchable in products within the Attribute set.
Filterable: Mark this attribute as available for filters within the Attribute set.
Variant: Define this attribute as a variant of the product within the Attribute set.
Variant Listing: List this variant on the sales site by grouping it according to variant attribute values within the Attribute set. For example, the color variant can be listed for the clothing attribute set, while the size variant can be listed for the carpet attribute set.
Visible: Use for attributes used for back-office operations in Omnitron but not on the website. Examples; erp_color_code, erp_sku, etc.
Form Required: Use for texts like name and notes on the product, e.g., jewelry, watches, wallets, flowers.
Form Field Required: Eliminate the obligation to enter texts like name and notes, allowing anonymous product orders.
