PIM Boolean Attribute Type
Boolean attributes related to products in a Product Information Management System (PIM) refer to product characteristics that have only two possible values, usually represented as True/False, Yes/No, or 0/1.
These attributes are used to indicate the presence or absence of a specific feature or characteristic in a product. For example, based on real world experience we know a Boolean attribute could be used to denote whether a television is smart-enabled (True) or not (False), whether a clothing item is machine washable (Yes) or not (No), or whether a laptop is in stock (1) or out of stock (0). PIMInto uses a two state boolean value that represents 'True', 'Yes' or '1' by setting the boolean value to 'True' and 'False', 'No' or '0' by setting the boolean value to 'False'.
Boolean attributes are a straightforward and effective way of categorizing product information in a binary manner. They are especially useful for filtering and sorting products on e-commerce platforms, allowing customers to easily find products that meet their specific requirements.
 Group Group provides multiple functions in the user interface, brand portals, connected channels, feeds and web sites. In the user interface Group allows attributes to be Grouped together for easy editing and display. The screenshot below demonstrates grouping of attributes with the "Group" Dimensions - Packaging" displayed for editing. All attributes that belong to the group are displayed together.
