Why This Page Matters for Business

  • Clean Catalog: attributes without duplicates and chaos improve card quality.
  • Better Filtering: normalized values work more reliably in filters.
  • Time Saving: bulk actions reduce manual work.
  • Structure Control: easily find empty or redundant attributes.

Buttons and Their Functions

  • Language Switcher - displays attributes in the selected language.
  • "Duplicates" - searches for duplicate attributes.
  • "Empty Groups" - finds groups without useful content.
  • "Attributes Without Products" - shows attributes not used in products.
  • Checkbox in Table Header - selects/deselects all rows on the page.
  • "Merge" (bulk or in-row) - combines attributes into one.
  • "Delete" (bulk or in-row) - deletes selected attributes.
  • Eye Icon - view attribute values.
  • Magic Icon - normalize attribute values.
  • "N Products" Badge - opens a list of products using the attribute.
  • Pagination "Back/Forward" - navigate between attribute pages.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Select the desired language in the switcher.
  2. Run checks: "Duplicates", "Empty Groups", "Attributes Without Products".
  3. Open problematic attributes through the "Eye" and check values.
  4. If necessary, normalize values (magic icon).
  5. Merge duplicates using "Merge".
  6. Delete unnecessary attributes (after checking product usage).

Practical Tips

  • First, merge duplicates, then delete redundant attributes.
  • Check the product count badge before deletion to avoid losing important data.
  • Work in small batches if there are many changes.
  • After large-scale changes, check filters on the storefront.
Important: bulk actions on attributes affect many products. Check the selection and merge target before confirming the action.

Business Benefits

  • Higher quality attribute structure in the catalog.
  • Better conversion due to clear filters and data.
  • Fewer errors in content and import.
  • Faster content team operations on large volumes.
