Attribute library
An attribute library
that’s clean, complete, duplicate-free.
01The starting point
Color, Color, Shade:
three names for the same thing.
One attribute created for a channel, another for a category, a third for an import: the library gets heavier, and the same information is spread across several fields.
- Duplicate attributes“Color” here, “Color” there: the same information ends up in two places, sometimes contradictory.
- Incomplete definitionsA weight without a unit, a material in free text: impossible to compare or filter.
- Dead attributesCreated one day, never filled in: they clutter every category that uses them.
02How it works
You ask. The agents take care of it.
- 01Run the auditOn one channel’s library, or on the one covering all your categories.
- 02Issues are spottedDuplicates, missing units, missing value lists, attributes never used.
- 03Definitions are completedUnit, type, value list and description: whatever each attribute is missing is completed.
- 04A clearer libraryEach category draws on well-defined attributes, with no duplicates.

03The result in Upsellr
One attribute
per piece of information.
Duplicates are spotted, and each attribute has its unit and value list.
The library is shorter, and every category clearer.
- DeduplicatedOne attribute per piece of information
- DefinedUnit, type and value list
- LighterDead attributes flagged

04What makes the difference
What the audit finds, and what it completes.
Duplicates, spotted.
“Color” and “Color” describe the same thing: they’re flagged, with the number of products affected.
Every issue, named.
Missing unit, free text instead of a list, attribute never filled in: every point is flagged, attribute by attribute.
Complete definitions.
Unit, type, value list, description: whatever an attribute’s definition is missing is completed.
05Results to document
What you’ll be able to measure.
- Number of duplicate attributes
- Share of attributes with a unit and value list
- Number of attributes never used
Your questions.
Practical answers.
What you need to know before your first request.
What is the attribute library?
All your channels’ attributes, which each category draws on to build its list.
What does the audit spot?
Duplicates, missing units, free-text attributes that would benefit from a value list, and those that are never filled in.
Does the audit touch my master data?
No. It covers your channels’ attribute library.
