Setting Up the Display of Configurable Product Attributes 

Use

You can determine how many characteristics should be displayed for configurable products in the B2C Web shop. This function is already available in the shopping basket, but has now been extended to the catalog in the Web shop. You can enable this function now for the home page, product details, and product comparison pages. This means you can control how many of the maintained characteristics are displayed for the product. This means you have more control over what customers sees and enables you to display important information for customers at a glance.

 

Prerequisites

You can only use this function if you have created a configurable product in the product master and set up configuration.
