Set Types and Attributes

Set types are groups of attributes that are used to describe products. They are stored in the system as database tables.

Note Note

In the documentation about set types and attributes, “products” includes both products and objects.

End of the note.

Set types enable groups of data fields to be assigned to a product, and the product to therefore be modeled in detail in the system.

Set types and attributes are used together with product hierarchies and categories. The combination of these elements enables the relevant set types to be made available on the Product page and therefore used to describe the product.

Structure

Set types are assigned to categories and not to products directly. By assigning set types to categories, and then in turn assigning the categories to products, you can make available the data you require to describe your products.

The mechanism is illustrated below:
