Add descriptive attributes to catalog entries

Descriptive attributes are properties of products and SKUs in an online store, such as care instructions for clothing. We can add descriptive attributes to a product if you need to provide more information to customers. For example, some pieces of clothing must be dry cleaned. A descriptive attribute can specify the dry clean only condition.

We can add descriptive attributes to catalog entries using one of the following methods:

• Use attribute assignments to assign one or more descriptive attributes from the attribute dictionary to multiple catalog entries at a time.
  

• Assign attributes that are contained within the attribute dictionary as descriptive attributes to a single catalog entry at a time.
  

• Add attributes that are not contained within the attribute dictionary as descriptive attributes within a catalog entry.
