Attribute Data Types
Unbxd PIM offers a wide range of data types to cater to different types of product information.
The following data types are available for defining attributes.
| Data Type | Description or Action |
| Text | This data type supports simple text or string values for attributes.
It is suitable for attributes like product names, status, or any textual attributes. |
| Number | The number data type allows for attributes that require numerical values.
It is useful for attributes such as price, quantity, weight, or any other numeric information associated with a product. |
| Date | The Date data type is specifically designed for handling date values.
It enables you to capture and manage dates associated with your products, such as release dates, expiration dates, manufacturing dates, or any other relevant date-based information. |
| Link | With the link data type, attributes can store URLs or hyperlinks to relevant web pages.
It enables referencing external resources or providing additional information about a product. |
