How to create and set up a default Attribute Template Catalog?



Solution

 The basic steps to create and save a new attribute catalog are:


o File --> Utilities --> Attribute Templates... 
o Toggle "Catalog" button at the top 
o Enter the attributes to be saved to a template. Select Apply for each one 
o Select "Export to Catalog" icon 
o Enter a name for your new catalog (or select an existing catalog) and Apply 
 This will generate an external XML file with the attributes.


To make that catalog the default catalog to be loaded in session set the 
following customer default:


Gateway --> User Attributes --> Attribute Templates Catalog Name


o Browse to the desired catalog (.xml) and select it. 
o Apply the change and restart NX


The template catalog attributes will now show up in the Unset attributes list 
and they will be available to choose in the drop down lists as well.
