    Hello Readers,
    In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to create an attribute" and apply it to Magento products.

    1. Go to Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes

    2. click on “Add New Attribute button in the top right”

    3. In the Properties tab , Set the Attribute Properties like:

       (a). Attribute Identifier: E.g. Shape, this name is used by the system.

       (b). Catalog Input Type for Store Owner: Select either Text Field or dropdown options, the option depend on data to be store.

       (c). Unique Value: select “yes” if you want the data saved in this attribute to be unique for each product.

    4. Apply To: Set “shape” attribute to simple or you can also set it to “All Product Types.

    5. Set the Frontend Properties like Use in quick/advanced search, Comparable on Front-end, Use in Layered Navigation & Visible on Catalog Pages on Front-end etc.

    6. Click on the Manage Label/Options tab to enter name of this attribute.

    7. click Save Attribute button to save all the setting.

     

    How to apply an attribute to the product?
    1. To apply 'shape' attribute to a product, first, add it to an attribute set.
    Go to Catalog tab->attributes->  Manage Attribute Sets.

    2. You will see the list of attribute set, click on any one & drag and drop the Unassigned Attributes (shape) from the third column to one of the groups (like General) in the second column.

    3. Click on Save Attribute Set button in the top right.

    4. Now you can create new product under Catalog -> Manage Products -> Add Product under the Attribute Set in which you assign created attributes & then click on continue button.

    In this way, we can create an attribute and apply it to products.
