Setting Up Grid Attributes

Grid attributes define product categories or dimensions of an item. For example, a company that sells apparel can create attributes common to items like size, color, style, and cut.

You can use the Import Assistant to create and edit grid attributes. To enable data validations during import, go to Setup > Import/Export > CSV Import Preferences, and check the Run Server SuiteScript and Trigger Workflows box. For more information, see Importing CSV Files with the Import Assistant.

Creating Grid Attributes

To make a well-defined grid item template, you must create attributes for the hierarchical structure of categories, properties, characteristics, and dimensions of your items.

To create a grid attribute:

  1. Go to Lists > Grid Order Entry > Define Grid Attribute > New.

    Alternatively, go to Lists > Grid Order Entry > Define Grid Attribute and click New Grid Attribute.

  2. On the Grid Attribute page, enter a name for the attribute.

  3. Click Save.

    The new grid attribute record is created.

Editing Grid Attributes

When you create a grid attribute, the record gets added to the Grid Attribute List. To view the list, go to Lists > Grid Order Entry > Define Grid Attribute. If the grid attribute is not mapped to an item used in a grid template, you can edit the grid attribute record.

To edit a grid attribute:

  1. Go to Lists > Grid Order Entry > Define Grid Attribute.

  2. On the Grid Attribute List page, click Edit beside the grid attribute you want to modify.

    Alternatively, click the Edit button if you are already on the Grid Attribute page.

  3. On the Edit Grid Attribute page, you can do any of the following:

    • In the Name field, you can change the grid attribute name.

    • To delete the grid attribute record, select Delete from the Actions list.

      You cannot delete the record if the grid attribute is mapped to an item that is assigned to a grid template.

  4. Click Save.
