Create the reusable product standard that suppliers and channels can follow.

Task-based catalog walkthrough

Tutorial outcome

What you will have after you define a product template.

By the end, one product family has required details, approved values and clear checks the team can review before products go live.

Working steps

Keep product details tied to the family. A shirt needs fit, material and size; a phone needs storage, display and connectivity.

Attributes: fit, material, colour, size

Decide whether each detail is a number, yes/no answer, text value or approved choice so filters and comparisons stay predictable.

fit: enum; size: enum; washable: boolean

Use one retailer-owned vocabulary rather than accepting every supplier label as a new product term.

colour: Navy, Stone, White, Sage
