- Name- Enter the attribute name - e.g. black or small - Display Name- Enter the display name if this is different to name (also used by the colour swatches display type to display the colour) - Tags- Select any tags from the selection box - start by entering the first few letters of the tag - Image- Optional - Add an image using drag and drop, or clicking, on the Drop image box
These attributes could both be assigned the tag Blue
