# Attribute Value Transformer Settings

> Transform the value of attributes automatically and accurately.

Attribute Value Transformers allow you to standardize product and variant attributes by applying transformation rules. This ensures that supplier-provided attribute values are consistently and accurately converted to match your business’s preferred format.

## Creating a Transformer

1. To create a new transformer, click **Create Transformer**.

2. Provide a transformer name.

3. Click **Save**.

Once you have created a new Attribute Transformer, you must edit the attributes.

### Editing transformer attributes

1. To add a new Transformation Attribute, click in the search field in the **Transformation Attributes** section.

   A list of all attributes will appear. Search through the list of attributes or begin typing the name of the attribute you would like to add.

2. When you find the desired attribute, click it to add it to the list of your transformation attributes.

   Attributes you’ve added will appear in a list below the search bar.

3. Clicking on an attribute you’ve added takes you to the **Edit Transformations** page to make changes.

   The **Attribute Settings** section allows you to update the attribute for the transformation.

4. Click the **Edit** button to search for a different attribute.

5. Click **Update** when finished.

6. The **Transformation Settings** section allows you to configure transformations for the attribute.

7. Enter an **Attribute Value Match** and a **Transformation Output Value** and click **Create**.

   The attributes you create in the Transformation Settings section will appear in the **Transformations** section below.

8. Edit an attribute by clicking on its corresponding **Edit** button.

9. In the window that appears, you can give the attribute a new **Attribute Value Match** and a new **Translation Output**.

10. Click **Update** when finished.

## Applying a transformer

Once transformer is created, there are multiple screens and workflows where a transformer can be applied such as proposals and products.
