Configuring Product Features
The fifth tab, named "Features" is where you specify your products’ features (i.e. weight, material, country of origin, etc.). When you create features and values (i.e. wool knit and micro-fiber materials), you assign them to the products when it is appropriate. This means that you do not have to fill out the features fields for each of your products but instead simply fill in the necessary values and apply them later. However, be aware that contrary to the combinations, these values do not change, and are valid for the general product.
Create a feature
To create a feature as well as its values click on the tab under Catalog that is labeled "Features". Click on "Add a Feature" for example, to add the types of headphones provided with a music player.
Give a name to this news feature, and click "Save".
Create a value
To add a value to the feature, either go back to the previous page, or go the the "Features" sub-ab of the "Catalog" tab.
In either case, click on "Add a new feature value".
In the drop-down menu, choose the feature to which you would like to add a value, enter its contents, and click Save.
Assign a value and feature to a product
Finally, go back to the "Features" tab for your product (not the Catalog/Features sub-tab!) and choose the feature you want to add from the drop-down menu. Click on "update features."
We have just created features as well as values to them. You can now return to the product of your choice, and add features and values.
If a feature does not have any value assigned to it, then it will not appear in the store.
Enter a Customized Value
If you want to indicate a value that has not been configured beforehand, you can add it directly in the "Customized" field
