Attribute types
This content is for Spring ’26. Switch to the latest version for up-to-date documentation.
Every attribute is defined with a type that dictates how values are collected and validated in the UI.
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Detail (text input) | Free-form strings such as notes, dimensions, or identifiers captured in a single field. |
| Choice (single-select picklist) | Normalised answers-ideal when you need reporting slices or segment membership rules. |
| Sentiment (negative, neutral, positive) | Lightweight qualitative scoring for relationship health or display quality. |
| Toggle (true/false) | Binary facts-planogram compliance, refrigeration present, and so on. |
| Rating (1–10) | Ordinal scores for audits, brand love, or operational KPIs. |
Combine types with attribute categories so related fields appear together on screen for merchandisers or account managers.

Section titled “Create a new attribute”- From the Aforza Catalog application, open the navigation menu and select Attributes.
- Select New.
- Complete the label, developer Code, Type, Attribute Category, display order, active flag, and any type-specific Values (mandatory for Choice attributes).
- Save the record.
Attribute categories
Section titled “Attribute categories”Attribute categories create logical groupings for administrators and end users alike. Each category targets either Account or Product objects-only the relevant group appears for that entity, which keeps tabs lightweight.
Create a new attribute category
Section titled “Create a new attribute category”- From the Aforza Catalog navigation menu choose Attribute Categories.
