Specification Attributes | BG_056

Specification Attributes are essentially placeholders of information that you can present to the user that help to describe the specifics of a product. Unlike Product Attributes, they do not require interaction from the customer but instead are there to simply display some information about the product.

Specification attributes are
essentially place holders of information

00:00:09:04 - 00:00:13:02
that you can present to the user to help
describe the specific of a product.

00:00:13:02 - 00:00:14:27
Unlike product

00:00:14:27 - 00:00:18:02
attributes that do not require interaction
from the customer.

00:00:18:10 - 00:00:23:15
But instead this to simply display
some information about the product.

00:00:23:17 - 00:00:25:28
So we're going to start off
by going to the specific area

00:00:25:28 - 00:00:35:26
within Infigo
to do with specification attributes.

00:00:35:29 - 00:00:38:24
Click on Add
new over on the right hand side.

00:00:38:24 - 00:00:41:25
And all we're doing at this
stage is adding the name of the product

00:00:41:25 - 00:00:46:08
attribute we wish to create.

00:00:46:10 - 00:00:47:19
Click on Save and continue.

00:00:47:19 - 00:00:53:09
Edit And now we can actually go over
to the options tab.

00:00:53:11 - 00:00:56:12
Now on this tab,
you can define multiple values.

00:00:56:12 - 00:00:58:09
This attribute can take.

00:00:58:09 - 00:01:01:09
For example,
if you have an attribute named finish,

00:01:01:09 - 00:01:05:26
your options could be matte or gloss
or whatever else you want it to be.

00:01:05:28 - 00:01:06:14
Remember,

00:01:06:14 - 00:01:09:21
specification attributes
are not selectable by the user,

00:01:09:29 - 00:01:13:00
so the administrator,
when defining one of these attributes

00:01:13:00 - 00:01:16:00
on a product, chooses
which option it takes.

00:01:16:04 - 00:01:19:28
And we'll see this a little bit later on.

00:01:20:00 - 00:01:21:06
So once we're on the options

00:01:21:06 - 00:01:25:20
tab, if I just go to add a new option,
that just comes up with a very simple

00:01:25:20 - 00:01:33:05
second screen
where we can define the options available.

00:01:33:08 - 00:01:35:20
Once we're done
adding as many options as we like,

00:01:35:20 - 00:01:41:19
just go ahead and click on Save.

00:01:41:22 - 00:01:43:25
Next, we to assign this specification

00:01:43:25 - 00:01:47:27
attribute to any product
on which we wish them to appear.

00:01:48:00 - 00:01:53:07
So we'll first
go to our product management section

00:01:53:09 - 00:01:55:06
and then we need to create or navigate

00:01:55:06 - 00:01:59:20
to a relevant product.

00:01:59:23 - 00:02:02:16
Now for on the product detail screen,

00:02:02:16 - 00:02:05:16
where we have all these tabs across
the top with additional information,

00:02:05:22 - 00:02:11:21
will notice that one of those
is related to specification attributes.

00:02:11:23 - 00:02:13:03
Multiple specification

00:02:13:03 - 00:02:16:03
attributes
can be applied to a single product.

00:02:16:03 - 00:02:19:14
The interface on this screen
allows you to define certain options

00:02:19:14 - 00:02:22:28
related to a specification attribute
and then added to the list

00:02:23:05 - 00:02:26:16
of specification attributes
for that product.

00:02:26:18 - 00:02:28:28
So all we want to do
is to select the relevant

00:02:28:28 - 00:02:32:12
attribute in this case
as we want to choose from.

00:02:32:14 - 00:02:36:23
And then if we want to select
from our predefined list of options,

00:02:36:26 - 00:02:45:05
we can do
So on the subsequent dropdown here.

00:02:45:07 - 00:02:46:04
Once I've specified

00:02:46:04 - 00:02:49:11
all the options I'm happy with,
I can go to add attributes.

00:02:49:14 - 00:02:52:03
You see that added to the list,
but we still have the option

00:02:52:03 - 00:02:55:24
to add additional entries

00:02:55:26 - 00:02:57:00
if we don't want to use

00:02:57:00 - 00:03:00:06
one of the specific options
that we have available in this dropdown

00:03:00:06 - 00:03:04:07
and that we've predefined,
you can instead say use free text

00:03:04:07 - 00:03:09:23
instead of attribute option,
and that just allows you a free text input

00:03:09:26 - 00:03:16:25
which you can use as that option.

00:03:16:27 - 00:03:17:23
In addition to this,

00:03:17:23 - 00:03:21:29
you can say whether this is going
to be shown on the product page itself.

00:03:22:01 - 00:03:26:06
So if this is DE selected,
it will just be kind of an admin only

00:03:26:08 - 00:03:27:10
specification.

00:03:27:10 - 00:03:33:14
You can actually show it to the customer.

00:03:33:16 - 00:03:38:12
And then again at the attribute

00:03:38:14 - 00:03:39:10
and then save.

00:03:39:10 - 00:03:42:19
Remember we can have as many specification
attributes on a product

00:03:42:21 - 00:03:46:08
as we wish.

00:03:46:10 - 00:03:47:16
So let's take a look at this product

00:03:47:16 - 00:03:50:16
on the front end and see how that looks.

00:03:50:19 - 00:03:54:11
So what you can see is that I've got this
product specification section here

00:03:54:11 - 00:03:57:25
which appears when we have a specification
attribute

00:03:57:25 - 00:04:00:25
set to appear on the product landing page.

00:04:00:25 - 00:04:04:14
However, underneath here
I've only got one specification attribute

00:04:04:14 - 00:04:08:19
showing even though I've got to assign
to the product itself.

00:04:08:22 - 00:04:12:28
And that's because one of them was set
to not show on the product landing page.
