Creating Attribute Tags
Use Attribute tags to display information from item, information item, category, and customer records in site themes, item/category templates, and hosted HTML pages.
For example, you might use Attribute tags to display an image in the store detailed description field of your NetSuite generated site, or to capture information retrieved from browser requests, or to display an item from your NetSuite account on a hosted HTML page.
Attribute tags are supported in HTML files hosted in your NetSuite file cabinet, item/category templates, site themes, and email messages generated from orders. To customize email messages go to Commerce > Site Builder > Content > Customize Text.
Web Site tags are not supported in SuiteCommerce Advanced websites.
Attribute tags are not supported in System Email Templates.
