An item's name, SKU, barcode, cost, and price are fixed fields that cannot be renamed or deleted.
To add an item attribute, go to Data Center > Attribute.
Text: Enter general text or numbers.
Number: Enter whole or decimal numbers.
Date: Enter a date (e.g., 2025-03-20).
Barcode: Enter alphanumeric characters for barcode printing and scanning.
Items can be grouped and viewed based on attributes. For example, you can view items by color or brand.
You can group items multiple times and create nested categories. For example, you can first group by type, then further group by brand, and then by name, for a more detailed and organized structure.
You can also sort items alphabetically or by stock quantity, either from largest to smallest or vice versa.
You can add as many attributes as you need on BoxHero—there are no limits!
If you update item information such as name, attributes, or price, the changes will automatically apply to all past transactions. In other words, the items details shown in your Transactions history will always reflect the current item information.

Please create a new attribute with the desired type and use the "" feature to copy the data from the existing attribute to the new one. Once the data has been successfully transferred, delete the old attribute.
Although it’s possible to create an attribute for locations, we recommend using the dedicated feature instead. It's specifically designed to track physical sites like warehouses, stores, or other locations. Unlike attributes, which typically have fixed values, locations allow for easy updates as items are moved between sites.
