How to create attribute transformations in Plytix to customize attribute values in outputs
While you can create formula attributes in Plytix to manage and view them alongside your other product data, there may be times when you only need to transform attribute values for specific channels—such as formatting data for distribution. In those cases, you can customize attribute transformations directly within your chosen Channels and Brand Portals (under "Attribute Transformation"), ensuring your data meets the exact requirements of each platform upon export. In this article, we will show you how to create attribute transformations in your Plytix outputs.
ℹ️ This article covers how to create attribute transformations that apply only within a specific Channel or Brand Portal. If you want to manage these operations like other attributes, check out our article on creating Formula Attributes
Creating Attribute Transformations
- Navigate to the Channel or Brand Portal to which you want to add an Attribute Transformation.
- Open the 'Attributes' tab, where you manage all your attributes.
- Click 'Add Attributes' to open the attribute selection area.
- On the right side, click the button 'Apply an attribute transformation'
- Then, click on your newly created attribute to edit its attribute label.
- Click 'Add attributes'
- Save your changes.
Your new attribute will appear in the attribute list.
