Create Attributes in the Product Console

A product attribute is a characteristic that defines a particular product and affects a consumer's purchase decision. Attributes can include product characteristics.

To be compatible with the Summer ’17 release and later, you must create product attributes only through Vlocity Product Console and never through the Salesforce Product tab.

In the Product Console, in the Foundation panel, click the plus icon next to Attributes.

Complete the following fields:

Picklist attribute values are stored as text, even if the picklist you select has another Data Type, such as Number.
