How to create and manage Completeness Attributes in Plytix to easily track and monitor your product's status.
A Completeness Attribute is shown as a pie chart. It is made up of other attributes and as you fill in information for those attributes, the percentage of the pie chart grows. You can create as many Completeness Attributes as you'd like to help track your products.

Creating a Completeness Attribute
To create a Completeness Attribute follow these steps:
- Navigate to "Settings" in the top menu.
- The Settings area will automatically open in "Product Attributes". If not, you may not have permissions to manage attributes.
- Click the "Create an attribute" button in the top right corner.
- Choose "Completeness Attribute".
- Name your attribute. A label will be automatically generated (you can change the name of your attribute at any time, but you are unable to change the label).
- Under Available attributes select the attributes you want to define your completion. these will be shown on the right under Selected attributes.
- Click "Save".
💡 We suggest naming this attribute in function with the outcome of the completion (Amazon, Web Ready, Spring Catalog, etc).
Editing a Completeness Attribute
To edit a Completeness Attribute follow the steps to modify an attribute.
⚠️ Modifying an attribute will modify it across the entire PIM. This can alter products in Smart Lists.
Viewing Completeness Attributes
To view a Completeness Attribute you can:
1. Add it to your product table view
2. See it on the "Attributes" tab of the Product Detail page.
To view which attributes are missing in a completeness attribute:
- Click on the "Attributes" tab in the product detail page.
- On the attribute groups menu on the right, choose "All user attributes"
- On the right side of the page you will see all completeness attributes listed. Click on one to expand the attributes that make up the completeness and see which have missing information.
💡 Create attribute group with all essential attributes that make up a completeness attribute to quickly find and fill in missing information.
Filtering your products using a Completeness Attribute
You can use the Completeness Attributes to filter through your products. This helps you to identify which products have all the information complete and which are missing information.
To do this:
1. Navigate to the Product Overview page
2. On the left Filters menu select the Completeness Attribute you want to filter by. A second dropdown will appear below.
3. Select the condition you'd like to filter by (e.g. is equal to 100, is not equal to 100, etc.).
ℹ️ When filtering for "is not equal to 100," as you fill in the missing information, products that reach 100% completeness will automatically be removed from the table view.
💡 Use these filters to create dynamic Smart Lists for internal use as well as to ensure you only send/share ‘Complete’ products.
