vinSUITE Products: Product Attributes
Overview of product attributes in vinSUITE, including step-by-step instructions to add a product attribute.
What are Product Attributes?
Product Attributes are certain product characteristics and groupings that a winery can customize. Product Attributes can provide more information about a product, and can help wineries categorize information for better reports and sales analysis.
Note: Some Product Attributes must be configured by the winery before they can be applied to a Product.
Add Product Attributes
1) In the vinSUITE admin panel, navigate to the 'Products' section and open 'Product Attributes'.
2) Select a Product Attribute to add.
Product Report Groups
Product Report Groups allow you to group non-wine products into broader categories that can be displayed on certain reports in vinSUITE. You can associate a Report Group with a Product in the General tab when editing a First Party Products. Then, you can run reports that include the Product Report Group to better organize and understand your sales information.
Once you click the "Add A Report Group" button, you can enter the the name of the Report Group and click the "Save" button.
Report Group | Enter the name of the Product Report Group as a broader category for non-wine products Example: Merchandise, Sale Items, etc.
Then, you can organize non-wine products into certain Product Report Groups. For more information about assigning a Report Group, please visit the Add A First-Party Product page.
You can utilize data about the non-wine products to gather sales and other information in Report Builder.
