Attributes

An Attribute is one of the characteristics that define the features of a product.

For example, Phone is a product. Its color, battery life, operating system, camera resolution, to name a few, are its Attributes. DCKAP PIM supports 12 Attribute types, each of which has custom properties that can be assigned based on your product.

The users who have access permission to the 'Attribute' can view the below details in the system.
