Add attributes and subfolders to a folder

As a Category Manager or Product Manager, we can add attributes and subfolders within folders. Folders can help you improve the organization of your attributes.

Before beginning

(Enterprise) If we are using extended sites, ensure that you understand how folders work in extended sites. See Folders in extended sites.

Procedure

1. Open the Catalogs tool.

2. From the explorer filter, select Attribute Dictionary.

3. Expand Attribute Folders and click the folder to add an attribute or subfolder in. The contents of the folder displays in the main work area. Tip: We can view a list of attributes or a list of folders within the folder or directory. Click the

   Show Attributes List or

   Show Attribute Folders List.

4. Use the utilities view to find the folder that we want to include as a subfolder or the attribute to include in the folder. Drag the attribute or folder from the utilities view into the attribute folder.

   • Attribute - the attribute is added to the folder.

   • Folder - a dialog displays. Choose an option:

     Copy

     This folder contains the same attributes as the original. The subfolders in the original and the attributes within the subfolders are not copied. Any changes to this copy do not affect the original folder. The object properties view opens for editing. Change the properties if necessary, and save our changes.

     Move

     The folder and all of its contents are moved to the new parent.

     Note: We cannot move a subfolder to make the subfolder a top-level folder. To make a subfolder a top-level folder, we must remove the entry in the parent folder table within the properties view for the subfolder.

     A folder can contain multiple subfolders, but a subfolder can have only one parent folder. We cannot have multiple subfolders with the same name in a folder.

5. Click Save. Verify that your added attribute or subfolder displays in the parent folder.
