Using the Matrix Item Name Template
The Matrix Item Name Template gives you systematic control of how matrix items are named, as displayed in the Matrix Item Name/Number field. A matrix item name includes the item name or number. However, it can also have attribute fields such as Location, Class, or Department assigned to it. It must also include all the available matrix options for that item, for example fabric, color, waist, and length.
The following screenshot example shows how these options can be distinguished by adding a separator of your choice between each item. You can assign options and attributes to appear in any order you prefer.
You can edit the matrix item name template by updating the inventory item record.
