What is Attribute Values?
Definition
Attribute Values are the actual data points assigned to each attribute, such as “Red” for Colour or “128 GB” for Storage Capacity. Consistent use of attribute values ensures uniformity and enables faceted search, filtering, and comparison on eCommerce channels. PIM systems help maintain standardised and validated attribute values across large catalogues.
Values must match the attribute's type and constraints, not merely occupy a field. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take a voltage value supplied as 120-277, interpret it using the approved voltage-range format, and store the validated range with its unit.
