Attribute Labels

An attribute's label is how it's identified throughout the collection. They are brief descriptors of what type of information is being displayed. Example Labels might be Material, Color, UPC, etc.

Attribute Description

This is not required, but can be useful for better explaining what this attribute represents.

Attribute Input Types

The input type defines how information is entered into a form for a specific attribute. Read below to better understand what each type means.

Single-line Text Box

This is a standard text box. It can hold a maximum of 250 characters and it looks like this:

Large Text Box

This is a multi-line text box. It should only be used for an attribute that may require large amounts of text (some like a detailed product description or notes). It looks like this (but larger):

Select Multiple Values

Use this when multiple pieces of information can be assigned to an attribute value for a given item. An example might be a "Colors" attribute and the inputs might look like this:

Red
Blue
Yellow
Green

Select Single Value

Use this when a single piece of information can be assigned to an attribute value for a given item from a pool of possible values. The resulting input is a drop-down box. An example might be a "Color" attribute and the input might look like this:

Number

Use this when the attribute's value will always be numeric. It allows for a more robust search by searching for a range of values.

US Dollar Amount

Use this when the attribute's value will always be a US Dollar amount. It places a dollar sign next to the input and allows for a more robust search by searching for a range of values.

Date

Use this when the attribute's value will be any combination of the following: month, day and year. The input will be a set of 3 drop down boxes that represent a month, day and year. However, not all of the boxes will need to have a value selected.

Yes or No

(AKA "True or False") Use this when the attribute's value will always be either true or false. Example attributes that would use this might be "Still in Production" or "Sold with Box".

List Attributes

These are the suggested pieces of information that are unique to each instance of an item. List attributes are those that a user will assign to an individual item when they are adding it to their collection, wishlist or tradelist. For instance, coins, comic books and sports cards can be professionally graded, so these collections have a list attribute named "Grading Company" and "Grade Serial Number."

No list attributes suggested.
