Select Save and Continue Edit.
(Optional) Expand the Predefined values section and click Add New Value.

Check Is pre-selectedif this is the first attribute value in the list or it is the value you want to have defaulted when the Product Detail Page loads for guests.

Repeat for all values that will be commonly used as options for the attribute.
...
2. Add Attribute to Product
Go to Catalog > Products, find the desired product, and click Edit to open the Edit product details page.
Scroll down to the Product attributes section. (Click the + if collapsed.)
Click Add a new attribute to open the Edit product attributes page and select the attribute from the Attribute drop-down list. Examples of attributes include Start Date, Age, Number of Days, Lesson Time, Duration, Discipline, etc.
HINT: If the attribute does not exist, go to Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes to add it following the instructions in section 1 above. Then, return to this step.
...
Select the Control type. Only the following Control types are supported:
Drop-down list -Use this for attributes that are required, should show up in the dynamic box, and don’t require much description. (Shown above in Figure A)
Radio button list - Use this for attributes that are required, should show up next to the dynamic box, may use an icon, and may require more description. (Shown above in Figure C)
Checkboxes - Use this for add on attributes and for attributes that are not required, can be turned on and off, and may require more description. The use of Checkboxes allows for a deselection of the attribute.
Date picker - Use this for any date selection attributes that should be displayed in a calendar view. (Shown above in Figure B.)
Textbox - Used with Text prompts for specific features. Documentation for the specific feature will reference when Textbox should be used.
Enter a Display order if you have more than one attribute associated with the product. It controls the order in which attributes are listed on the Product Detail Page (PDP.) An entry of 0 would display that attribute at the top of the display box, 1 would show below it, and so on.
Set Enable linked attribute to True if both of the following are true for the product:
The product is a core product with attributed add ons or the product is an attributed add-on.
The attribute is added to both the add on product and the core product this add on is linked to.
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Enable linked attribute will be checked for core products in some cases, but instructions on when and how to do this are covered in the Linked Attribute section and can be found HERE. |
Click Save and Continue Edit.
3. Add Attribute Values
Most attributes will need values added to them. A value is an option of an attribute, (e.g. if ‘Number of days’ is the attribute, ‘1-day’ is a value.) All standard attributes on both core and add-on products require the configuration of values.
If the attribute is a Control type other than Date Picker, scroll to the Values section on the Edit product details page. (Click the + if the section is collapsed.)
If the attribute added has predefined values configured within the Catalog > Attributes > Product Attributes section, these will be generated when the attribute is added to the product (Shown below.) These can be removed and changed.
...
If you would like to edit or delete predefined values, click Edit or Delete next to the value you wish to change. Either edit predefined values or add new values.
If you would like to add a new attribute value to the attribute, click Add a new value.
When adding a new value, specify the value Name
...
Check Is pre-selectedif this is the first attribute value in the list or it is the value you want to have defaulted when the Product Detail Page loads for guests.
Specify the Display orderto determine theorder in which the add-on attributes will appear.
Select an image under Picture to display an icon image next to the attribute value. Select an image that was previously uploaded with the icon title to display.
Save and repeat for all attributes on the product. Values need to be assigned for all attributes that are associated with a product except Date and AssignedTo attributes (e.g. Number of days, Discipline, Duration, and Age may all be required on a single lesson product.)
...
To generate the attribute combinations, scroll to the Attribute combinations tab under the Product attribute section on the Edit product details page.
If all of your required attributes are set up (e.g. Age and Number of Days), then you can generate attribute combinations, AND THEN you can add all other non-required and add-on attributes.
Before generating the attribute combination table, confirm that standard attributes that are added to the product have Is Requiredchecked.
| Note |
|---|
IMPORTANT: Attribute combinations should be generated before any attributes with add ons are added to the product. DO NOT click Generate all possible combinations after the add ons are added. |
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Add on product attributes can be marked asIs Required temporarily to aid in generating attribute combinations, but Is required should be unchecked after the attribute combination table is generated. (Add On Product Configuration Only) |
Click Generate all possible combinations.
The following message box will appear asking you if you are sure you want to generate all possible combinations. If you are certain that none of your attributes with add ons are added, click Yes.
If SKUs (RTP|One PHCs or Siriusware DCIs) and/or prices are defined at the attribute combination level, there should now be a combination for every variant.
If a product is dynamically priced, only combinations that should have a price set through dynamic pricing should be in this table. If a combination that should have unique pricing is not defined in this table, it will not be able to be uniquely priced through dynamic pricing.
Click Edit next to each attribute combination.
Enter the correct RTP|One PHC or Siriusware DCI in the SKU field.
If the product is priced at the attribute combination level (and is not dynamically priced), update the Overridden price field.
Leave all other fields alone. They are not used.
Click Update. Check to be sure that all attribute combinations now show the correct SKU and Overridden price.
...

NOTE: Only core products can have conditional attribution enabled. Add on products do not support conditional attributes. |
From the Edit product details page, go to the Product attributes section. (Click the + if the section is collapsed.)
To add a conditional attribute, click Add a new attribute and set up the attribute and associated values similar to a standard attribute.
Select the attribute from the drop-down; if the attribute does not exist, first add it under Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes following the instructions in the sections above.
(Optional) Enter [Conditional] in the Text prompt field. This should be entered if a product attribute is dependent on another product attribute value being selected and the conditional attribute should be indented. (e.g. VIP Package is conditional on the selection of an Adult ticket.)
Once the attribute is saved, the Condition section will appear in the Edit product attribute page, open it and check Enable condition, and select the Attribute and Attribute Value that this attribute requires to be previously selected in order to display.
To update the pricing on the various attribute combinations that include the conditional attribute, select the Attribute combinations tab and click Generate several combinations.
Select the attribute combinations.
Review the attribute combinations that appear and click Delete for any that are not applicable.
Click Edit to enter appropriate SKUs (PHCs for RTP|One and DCIs for Siriusware) and appropriate Overridden Price for each attribute combination.
When finished, the attribute combination table should show each attribute combination with an associated SKU and Overidden Price.
In the image below, you can see an example of the conditional attribute displayed.
...
To add descriptions to your attributes (you may do this at the time of adding your attributes or after) go to Catalog > Product Attributes > Find your attribute (e.g. Discipline)
Select Edit.
In the Description field add whatever details you would like shown above your attribute (See example below.)
Use the Formats tab to add design elements to your description.
For example, if you would like your attributes to be distinguished into large and small text you may highlight a line of text and select Formats > Headers > Header 1. This will import your resort’s theme color and size for “Header 1”
See an example of the above attribute description below:
If you would like to further customize your attribute description you can also use the CMS tools/WYSIWYG editor.
