How to work with value reference books in a catalog

The directory helps to store values uniformly: for example, colors, sizes, brands, statuses or types of products.

When to use

It is needed if the same value comes from suppliers in different spellings.

How to set up

1. Create a directory in the properties settings.
2. Add valid values.
3. Bind the property to the directory.
4. Set up transformations or mappings for incoming values.
5. Check filters and product cards.

What will happen

There will be fewer duplicates in the catalog like "black", "Black", "black" and "BLACK".

What is important to remember

• The directory does not correct the source by itself: configure the matching rules.
• Directory values are best maintained as the command's working standard.
