Attribute Groups
General
Attributes Groups are used to assign detailed information to products, enhancing the data quality and enable filtering based on specific criteria. They also form the basis for managing translations.
An Attribute Group consists of attribute values.
Simple Attribute Groups
Simple attribute groups consist of clearly defined separate values that can be assigned to multiple products. This set of values does not change when describing products. Furthermore, simple attribute groups are used for configuration purposes, such as shop filters or assortment mappings.
Example
There are two attribute groups – "size" and "color." Customers should be able to filter products according to the included attributes (e.g., "small" or "red"). The simple values within these two attribute groups will not change and can be chosen on the product detail page from the defined set of options (e.g., "red," "yellow," "green" or "blue" for "color").

Advanced Attribute Groups
Advanced attributes have a more complex structure. It is useful to work with advanced attributes if the user wants to add particular specifications to a product that are not shared with other products. It is possible to use different components to create a customized component structure for advanced attributes to ensure that product data will be provided in a consistent manner.
The use of advanced attributes is particularly recommended if the user wants to add free text to the product information (e.g., a product description or warning notices).
The following components are available for defining the structure of an advanced attribute:
- Text (short)
- Text (long)
- Number
- Attribute
- List of attributes (attribute group)
- Date
The user can take these field types and set up any combination to define an advanced attribute structure. Additionally, users can specify if an advanced attribute can be used once or multiple times per product.

Example: Multiple Options Material Composition
When using advanced attribute groups, users can define a more complex structure within this attribute group. For example, if a shirt consists of different materials in different percentages, users can set the material composition individually for each product using an advanced attribute group.

System Attribute Groups
System Attribute Groups are created automatically - their IDs are reserved, and you cannot modify them.
