Property Collections

The Property Collections feature allows a user to group the attributes and tags under one area to easily configure a group of products.

Key Term:
  • Property: a data field which describes a product, can also use ‘attribute’.
  • Attribute: a data field which describes a product, can also use ‘property’.
Description:
  • A property collection is a group of attributes, properties, tags, and roles. This collection can be added to a class or taxonomy level.
  • A user can then categorize a product under that class or taxonomy level to inherit a set of properties.
  • This feature is useful for product categories with common sets of attributes.

Application:

  • A property collection can hold attributes and tags for similar types of information or content.

  • Example:

    A supplier wants to add the List Price attribute to his products so he creates a property collection containing the List Price attribute and adds it to the Single Article class.
