Attribute Values

You can enter or edit Attribute Values manually or in bulk.

Manual entry

To add or edit Attribute Values, follow these steps:

1. Go to Products > Attribute Values in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.
2. Click the Add New Value button at the top of the screen.
   The AttributeValueEdit.aspx page is displayed.
3. Complete the following details:

   Setting	Description
   Attribute Value ID	This shows the ID of the Attribute Value. This is added automatically by IRP Admin.
   Attribute Name	Select the appropriate Attribute from the drop-down list to associate with the value. For example if you are creating values such as ‘Small’, Medium’ and ‘Large’, you would most likely be selecting an Attribute called ‘Size’. (The list of Attributes are taken from what you have previously configured in the Attributes section.)
   Attribute Value	Enter the value of the attribute. Also enter the translation of the value into any of the available languages listed. Note that, for languages that support masculine and feminine forms (e.g. French), you can add masculine (the default) and feminine values. These are used primarily for Left Navigation filtering on the front-end of the website but also for Attributed Keyword generation in the PPC Advanced section of the IRP (ask your IRP Account manager for details). Ultimately, for foreign language PPC Campaigns where the foreign language supports gender, by adding feminine PPC values, the keywords produced will be prepended or appended with gender-specific PPC Attribute Values based on the gender of the category that they refer to. This will be evident only in Attribute Category and Attribute Brand-Category keyword output.
   Colours	(Visible only for attributes that have the Is Colour setting set against them.) Select the hex values for the colours to show in the IRP colour swatch functionality to display swatches on all front-end listing pages. Use the built in colour picker control which shows a list of pre-approved, commonly-used colours along with the recommended colour name: Leave these blank if no colour should display. A second colour is optional. When you specify a second colour, both colours will display in the same swatch circle.

4. Click the Insert Attribute Value button to save the value.
   You should see a ‘New Attribute Value Inserted Successfully’ message.

Bulk entry

You can add Attribute Values in bulk using the Import Stock Attributes section. Here you can create a Template File to which you add the Attribute Values, before uploading the Attributes File to update the Values in your IRP database.

You can combine Values in the same Attribute into another Value. For example you could combine a ‘Colour’ Attribute Black / Red, Black / White, Black / Green into Black.

To add or edit Attribute Values, follow these steps:

1. Go to Products > Attribute Values in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.
2. Click the Combine Values button at the top of the screen.
   The AttributeValuesCombine.aspx page is displayed.
3. In Step 1, select an Attribute from the drop-down list.
4. In Step 2, select a value of the Attribute from the drop-down list. This ‘Main Value’ is the value you want to combine other values into.
5. In Step 3, select the Values that you want to combine into the Main Value.
6. Click the Combine Attribute Values button to save the details.
7. You should see a message that you have been successful.
