Maintain multiple locales paralelly

Using an example, this chapter explains how to maintain attributes on multiple locale levels parallely using the “Attributes” app. In this example, three attributes of the product with the ID “P7000151201” are maintained on the locale levels “German”, “English” and “Greek”, whereby the attributes are maintained on the product level and on the main context level.

Select the context level and set the data view

In this step, the main context level is selected and the appropriate data view is set. To do so, proceed as follows:

  1. If not already set, select the main context level from the “Context” menu (in this case “Customer”).
  2. If not already set, select the option “Localized” from the “Data view” menu, so that all the selected locale levels are shown in the table.
  3. If not already set, select the option “Attributes” from the “Display” menu, so that the selected locale levels are shown next to each other.

Include attributes in the table and maintain them

In this step, the attributes are included in the table and they are maintained. To do so, proceed as follows:

  1. Click on the Attributes button above the table to call up the dialog box for selecting attributes.

  2. Select the remaining attributes as described above.
  3. Click on the ACCEPT button to finalise the attribute selection. Following this, the dialog box closes and attributes are shown in the table.
