Personalized attributes
An attribute describes a characteristic of an object. Attributes are called specifications in WebSphere Commerce. Specifications are used to distinguish one product from another. Height, color, weight and size are examples of an attribute or specification. A personalized attribute dictionary provides a list of attributes that buyers use to define the specifications that they want a product to have. They use the dictionary when preparing an RFQ request.
Attributes used to create product specifications must be selected from the personalized attribute dictionary.
If buyers cannot find a product matching their needs in the catalog, they can select attributes from the personalized attributes dictionary to precisely define the product specifications. A free-form attribute field is available so the buyer can propose a specification not available in the dictionary.
