3. Find the product.
   

4. Select a field in the product row, and from the Tools menu, click Defining Attributes. A list of available defining attributes for the product displays.

5. Click New. The New Attribute page displays. Add the following information:

   Option	Description
   Language	The field is set to the store's default language.
   Name	Type the name of the attribute, such as "Color" or "Size". This name must be in the store's default language.
   Description	Type a brief description of the attribute.
   Type	Select the Text check box if the attribute contains text, such as a name. Select the Whole Number check box if the attribute contains numbers, such as a size. Select the Decimal Number check box if the attribute contains decimal points, such as a half size for shoes.

6. Create the defining attribute values.
   

7. Click OK to save the attribute.

   • You must first create attributes and attribute values in the store's default language, followed by any supported languages.

   • At least one attribute value must exist for each new defining attribute.

   • If the changes to the catalog data do not display in the store, the Site Administrator may need to remove the currently cached JSP pages
