Product attributes – P_TAGS – TB.IO by Tradebyte.com

Product attributes are like components properties of a product or an article. But attributes don’t allow to build variants upon them. An attribute may have one or more values, thus it may be used several times in a product.

Attributes are not directly transferred to the channels but are, if needed, assigned to channel values using a so-called value mapping. Therefore, attributes mainly serve the internal control and the directed mapping of TB.One attributes to distribution channel values (e.g. gender or season).
