The Attributes are arranged into Attribute Types and each type is given a range of Attribute Values.

Each Attribute Value can aso be given a price which can either set the absolute price or adjust the original price either up or down.

Selecting the Product Attributes

If your have assigned attributes to your product these appear on the website.  One selection (usually a dropdown list) is created for each Attribute Type defined.  The customer selects the conmbination of attributes they require before adding the product to their basket.  If necessary the price of the product is automatically adjusted and will appear in the basket with the correct price.

Managing Product Attributes

The Type sets the type of attribute and groups the values logically.

The Value sets options the customer can choose from for this Attribute Type.

The Price applies a change to the Product Price set elsewhere.  The price can be prefixed with a + or - sign which cause the price to be added or substracted from the Product Price.  If no + or - is present the Product Price is changed to this value when Attribute Value is selected.  Note that prices without a + or - can only really work if there is only a single Attribute Type present.

Up/Down Arrows: The Up/Down arrows are used to move the Attribute Value to a higher or lower position is n this list.  This allows you to keep the values in a logical order such as Small, Medium and Large.
