    About this task

    After creating a dynamic attribute group, build out your taxonomy by specifying each dynamic attribute within the group.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Dynamic Attributes > Dynamic Attribute Groups.
    2. Select the dynamic attribute group that you want to update.
    3. In the Dynamic Attributes related list, select New.
    4. On the form, fill in the fields.
      Table 1. Dynamic Attribute form
      Field Description
      Group Dynamic attribute group that contains this attribute.
      Label Label used for displaying the dynamic attribute.
      Name Internal name for the dynamic attribute.
      Type Data type of the attribute.

      To optionally define the attribute using a choice set, select String.

      Choice Set Fixed set of values defined in a choice set.

      For example, if you created a choice set for Colors with choices for red, green, and blue, you can select the Colors choice set to limit the attribute's values to the color choices defined in the choice set. See Create a dynamic choice set.

      This option only appears when you select String in the Type field.

      Description A brief summary of what the attribute stores.
      Active Option to activate the dynamic attribute.
