Item master data: Attributes/Characteristics
On this page you will find a detailed description of all the options in the Attributes/Characteristics tab of the item master data. To learn how to create items and manage attributes and characteristics, please read the relevant scenario.
How to use attributes and characteristics
Use attributes and characteristics to assign additional properties to your items. For example, you can provide additional item information to your customers through text attributes in JTL-Shop and on Amazon/eBay. Using characteristics, you can provide options for product filtering to your customers in JTL-Shop.
In addition, you can use function attributes to control certain functions, e.g. in your online shop. JTL-Wawi offers a range of predefined attributes for this purpose. However, you can also create custom attributes. In addition, JTL-Wawi offers limited predefined attributes for the shop systems that are connected via the JTL-Connector.
In general, there are two attribute types in JTL-Wawi:
A: Attributes
In the Attributes area, you will see an overview table in which all attributes are listed. You can use the buttons in this area to manage the attributes for your item.
