Using the Copy / Link Product: Product Attributes Page
The Copy / Link Product: Product Attributes page allows you to name your copied product and define certain product attributes.
Product Identification
The Product Identification section includes the Product Name field, which is a required field. The system automatically enters a product name for the copied product. The default name for copied products is the original product name preceded by “Copy of.” For example, if you are copying a product named Shirtdress, the system automatically enters the product name as Copy of Shirtdress in the Product Name field.
You can change the default name by entering a different product name in the Product Name field.
The Product Identification section also displays the product type of the copied product. This is the same product type that you selected from the Product Type menu on the previous Copy / Link Product page.
General Attributes
The General Attributes section includes product attributes.
Attribute values vary depending upon the relationship type you selected. You might be required to define attributes by entering values in fields or selecting from menus.
Certain attributes are object references, displayed as links. Clicking the link brings up a search window for that object, where you can search through the library for that object and select the appropriate value for the attribute.
Attribute Value Settings
A property setting defines attribute values for transferred attributes. This setting is defined for each individual attribute, and can vary from one attribute to another within the same relationship type. See Defining Relationship Types for more information regarding attribute transfer values.
The three available settings are described in the following table:
Setting
Attribute Value
Predefined value
Predefined by the system administrator. You can change this value.
Copied value (default)
Copied from the original product attribute. You can change this value.
No value (blank)
Undefined. You can enter or select the value.
After you have defined or selected the transferred product attributes, if applicable, click Next.
If you have selected a season to copy the product to, you are directed to the Copy / Link Product: Product-Season Attributes page
If you have not selected a season to copy the product to, the system takes you to the Product Details page.
