This is a place where you can set values for your products, create an AI-generated product description based on selected attributes, use the AI translation feature, and establish two-way product relations.
At the top left corner, there is an [1] Edit language drop-down menu; use it to switch between languages for filling in attribute values.
Information on how to add a new language to the list can be found here.
At the left top corner, you can find [2] Edit template button, [3] the Completion index, and [4] the Missing translation indicator, and [5] the workflow status switch.
[2] Edit template button - takes you directly to the template editor feature.
[3] The Completion index - shows how many of the attributes in that template are marked as required and are filled with values.
[4] Missing translation - indicates that there are untranslated attribute values in the product.
[5] The workflow status switch - allows you to change the workflow status of a product if workflow status changing conditions are met.
This feature enables automatic content creation based on selected attribute values. To use it, click on the three dots (kebab) menu in the textarea type attribute and choose Auto-generated content.
This will allow you to select attributes on which to base your description. The more attributes you select, the better the description will be. Click on Generate Content to proceed or "x" to abort.
Wait for a moment, and when done, the content will be automatically pasted into the attribute value.
This feature allows for automatic content translation and can be used for any text or textarea-type attribute.
To start translating, click on the three dots (kebab) menu for your chosen attribute, select Translate from, and then choose the source language for this translation.
For this to work, there must be something to translate from. For example, if you wish to translate English product descriptions to Polish, an English version must already be created and saved.
Now wait a moment, and the translated value will be automatically inserted into the attribute.
Remember to save your changes when you are done.
Attribute variables can only be used with specific attribute types; you can read more about this here.
To use the variables, click on a supported attribute in the product template and type the hash character (#). A list of available variables will be displayed.
You can use more than one variable.
When a variable is used, a new eye icon will appear. If clicked, a preview will be shown.
Variables are language-independent, meaning that the same variable can have different values depending on the selected language (if a local-type attribute is used).
There are four items in the gallery-type attribute:
Clicking on an image will open it in full-screen mode.

You can choose to create a two-way relationship with a product instead of a traditional one-way relationship. To do so, click on the + Add Relations button.
Then toggle Create a Two-Way Relation switch to add the currently edited product as a relation to a selected product.
RTE-enabled textarea-type attributes allow you to enter rich text content with various formatting options. You can use the RTE editor to create and edit your content in the Product Catalog. You may also use variables.
Click on the plus icon that appears in the upper left corner of the attribute field when you click on it in the Product Catalog. This will open the RTE editor.
Choose an option from the toolbar to insert a block of content. You have eight options: Text, Heading, List, Image, Video, Delimiter, Table, and Quote. Each option has different functions and appearances:
Text: Inserts a text block where you can type plain text. You can also use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italics, Ctrl+U for underlining, or Ctrl+K to create links.
Heading: Inserts a heading block where you can type a title or subtitle. You can choose heading sizes from H1 to H6 by clicking on the Click to Tune icon (six dots) next to the block.H1 is the largest and H6 is the smallest.
List: Inserts a list block for typing item lists; by default, it’s ordered but can be changed to unordered by clicking on Click to Tune.
Image: This option inserts an image block where you can display an image from the internet. You need to enter the image URL in the window that appears. The image URL must be an absolute link, which means it starts with http:// or https:// and includes the full path to the image file. For example, https://example.com/images/image.jpg is an absolute link, but /images/image.jpg is not.
Video: This option inserts a video block where you can embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo. You need to enter the video link in the “Source” field in the window that appears. The video link must be a valid link from YouTube or Vimeo, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example or https://vimeo.com/example. You can also enter the width and height of the video in pixels in the “Width” and “Height” fields, and toggle the “Constrain proportions” switch to keep the aspect ratio of the video. Click on the “Add video” button to insert the video, or the “Cancel” button to close the window. You can also resize the video by clicking on the “Click to tune” icon next to the block.
Delimiter: Inserts a thin horizontal line separating different sections of content.
Table: Inserts a table block for displaying data in rows and columns; you can edit it by clicking on options next to each row or column.
Quote: Inserts a quote block for typing quotations or citations; alignment options are available via Click to Tune.
To add more blocks of content, click on the plus icon that appears between blocks. You can also reorder blocks by dragging and dropping them using the handle (six dots) on each block's left side.
To expand the attribute field, click on the double-arrow icon on the right side of the toolbar; this will make it fill the whole screen. Click again to return it to its original size.
To save your content, click on Save Changes on the right side of the screen. To discard changes, simply navigate elsewhere in the system or refresh the page.
RTE editor does not support all HTML tags.
You can use RTE-enabled textarea-type attributes to create rich and engaging content for your products and edit it at any time by returning to the Product Catalog and clicking on the attribute field.
