Add new product properties

When you’re adding properties for your products, there are two ways you can add them:

•  Properties can be defined globally, so they’re available to be used on any product, or;
• Properties can be defined individually, at the product level, and they will only exist for that single product.
  
  

Add default properties globally

1. Navigate to configuration -> products -> properties -> default properties.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on add property. The key for the property "material" would simply be "material".
   
   
   
   
3. Click on show more. If no key group is defined, it will be added to the unspecified property list on the product. If you create a new key group it will be listed next to the other key groups. 
   
   
   
4. The value type for the "material" property could be selected based on the specific needs. If no value type is explicitly selected, the default value type would be a text field.
   
   
   
   
5.  In this example the key group is named "my new key group". 
   
   
   
   
6. After refreshing the page, navigate back to the product list. Select a specific product, and then choose "Edit Product" to access the properties. The newly created property, "material," should be found within the "my new key group".
   
   
   
   
   

Add new property at product level

1. Navigate to the product list and select a product.
2. Click on edit products -> properties -> add property
   
   
   
   
3. Click on the pencil to edit the newly added property
   
   
4.  Type in the name of the property. To change valuetype, click on show more and change to text area. 
   
   
   
   5.   Click ok to save. 
   
   
   
   6. The product level property is now created.
