Product Family Settings

System Administration > System Settings > Companion Application System Settings > Web System Settings > Product Family Settings

Use this routine to establish attributes foro product families. Each product family can have 1 or 2 associated product attributes. Prior to linking the products to the appropriate attributes, you need to create the attributes via Product Attribute Title Settings and Product Attribute Value Settings. Attributes can be defined for Size, Color, and Comfort Level, for example. Attributes are synced along with the products that are linked to each attribute name/value pair.

This routine can be used with the non-Legacy STORIS eCommerce solution to group together web products that have similar characteristics; this routine can also be used by Print an Inventory Floor Tag to print 'groups' of products on a hang tag.
