New Feature! Item Attributes

New Feature! Item Attributes

Item Attributes are user defined fields that are used to configure certain item properties that will be used in reporting, label making or in conjunction with Third Party Integrations. When configured under Common Setup, these attributes will be made available to all items for configuration. There are five data types of attributes that a user can create: 

  • Selection
  • Number
  • Text
  • Boolean
  • Integer



    Creating a New Item Attribute 

To create a new Item Attribute, navigate to the Common Setup section of Yellow Dog using the left-hand navigation. 



 
  1. Enter in the Attribute Description. This description will be used in reporting, print templates, item configuration and lists. There is a 32 max character limit.  
  2. Determine the type of attribute. 
    • Text – Free range text input field
    • Integer – Free range integer input field 
    • Number – Free range number input field 
    • Selection – Allows users to select options from a defined list 
    • Boolean – Allows users to mark the attribute as true / false by checking a box. 
  1. Enter in the Report Description. This is an additional text field that allows for Attribute column definition in reporting. 
  2. Determine if this Attribute should be a required field or not. When selected this field in the Item Attribute configuration will be highlighted red. 
  3. If the Attribute type is selection, options will need to be created. 
    • Use the “Create New Options” button and enter in the Value 
    • One selection Attribute can have up to 10 options to choose from 
    • If an option is made in error, highlight and use the “Remove Option” button. Only options not already assigned to an item can be removed. 

Removing an Item Attribute 

To remove an Item Attribute, the attribute must not be assigned to any items in Yellow Dog. If previously assigned, the option to remove will remain greyed out. 



Assigning an Attribute to an Item 

Once created in Common Setup, Attributes will be available for assignment in the “Attributes” tab of the Item Editor. 




Note - All required attributes will have the Attribute Description in red text.
