As a Category Manager or Product Manager, you can delete attributes or
subfolders from a folder to improve organization of your store attributes.
Before you begin
If you are using extended sites, ensure that you
understand how folders work in extended sites. For more information, see Folders in extended sites.
Procedure
-
Open the Catalogs tool.
-
From the explorer filter, select Attribute Dictionary.
-
Expand Attribute Folders. Locate and select the folder that contains the
subfolder or attribute that you want to delete.
The contents of the folder displays in the main work area.
Tip: You
can view a list of attributes or a list of folders within the folder or directory. Click the
Show Attributes List or
Show Attribute Folders List.
-
Right-click the attribute or folder that you want to delete; click
Delete.
If you delete an attribute, you delete only the reference to that attribute. The attribute
continues to exist in your attribute dictionary and in any other folders that include the
attribute.
If you delete a folder, you delete the folder from your system. If the folder
contained attributes, the attributes are deleted from the folder, but continue to exist in your
system and in any other folders that include the attributes.
You can also delete a subfolder from a parent folder within the
properties view of the subfolder by removing the folder entry in the Parent Folder table. Removing
this entry makes the subfolder a top-level folder.
-
Verify that the attribute or folder no longer displays within the parent folder.
