Adding an Item

Items, which are also referred to as products, are services or stand-alone items sold individually. This document covers the process of adding an individual item to your list of products. You can also add multiple items at the same time by importing them using a CSV file.

​

Prerequisites

• Ensure that you have set up at least one product attribute group. For more information about creating attribute groups, see Creating Attribute Groups.
• Ensure that you have created at least one leaf category to add the item to. For more information about creating categories, see the Categories section.

​

Procedure

1. In the left menu, click Product Catalog > List > Items.
   The Items page is displayed.
2. Click New Item.
   The Select a leaf category window is displayed. This window displays the root categories and leaf categories that are configured in the Categories page.
3. Select a leaf category.
   Leaf categories are labelled with leaf. You must click a root category to view the leaf categories within that category. If a root category has more root categories within it, you might have to continue selecting root categories until you can select a leaf category.
4. Click Next.
   The attribute groups you have created and mapped are displayed based on the configuration in the Attributes page.
5. To edit an attribute group, click the Edit button next to the attribute group name.
   • In the Edit Attributes window, enter the required details.
     • (Optional) For instructions on manually overwriting an attribute’s settings, see Adding a Text Attribute, Adding a Number Only Attribute, or Adding a Date Attribute.
   • Click Save.
     If you want to use more than one attribute group, repeat the above steps for all of those attribute groups.
6. (Optional) If internationalization is enabled, from the the language dropdown menu, select the desired language variant for the item.
7. (Optional) Click Publish.

The item is now published and moved from draft to active state.
