Item attributes allow you to customize and manage inventory information such as brand, size, color, and more.
An item's name, SKU, barcode, cost, and price are fixed fields.
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.
Once an attribute is created, it cannot be changed. If you need to modify it, you'll need to create a new attribute.
Items can be grouped and viewed based on attributes. For example, you can view items by color or brand.
You can also sort items alphabetically or by stock quantity, either from largest to smallest or vice versa.
Please contact our customer support team, and we will help you restore it.
You can add as many attributes as you need on BoxHero—there are no limits!
Please create a new attribute with the desired type and use the "Bulk Edit with Excel" 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 Locations 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.
