There are two places to do it. - The **Traits** tab on the product record, for when you are already editing a product. - The **Assign product traits** screen in the StoreConnect Console, for when you are working through several products in a row. Each value you add creates a **Trait** record (`s_c__Trait__c`) linking the product to the value. ## Alternative methods To add many products to one traits value, use the [Trait Builder](trait-builder). To assign traits across a whole spreadsheet at once, see [Import and export traits](import-and-export-traits). ## Before you start - Make sure you have access to traits. If you do not, the panel shows a lock and asks you to contact your StoreConnect administrator. - Build the categories, types, and values you want to assign. Only existing values can be assigned, See [Trait Builder](trait-builder) first. If no values are set up you can add them on the fly, but it is faster to set them up first. ## Assign traits from the product record 1. Open the **Product** record and select the **Traits** tab. 2. In the search box, start typing a trait value. 3. (Optional) Narrow the results with the **Category** and **Type** filter menus beside the search box. 4. Select each value you want in the results. They are grouped under their category, and the footer keeps a running count. 5. Apply your selection. The button names the action, for example, **Add 3 traits**. Assigned values then appear below the search under **Assigned traits**, grouped by type. To take a trait off a product, select its pill. ## Assign traits from the console 1. Open the StoreConnect Console and go to **Inventory** > **Traits** > **Manage traits**. 2. In the **Products with traits** pane, select **Assign traits**. 3. In **Product**, search for the product by name or code, then select it. 4. Search for and select values the same way as on the product record. Changes are saved as you go, so there is no separate save step. 5. Select **Back** to return to **Manage traits**. To revise a product that already has traits, select its row in the **Products with traits** pane instead. The same screen opens with that product already chosen. The values you added now appear under **Assigned traits** on the product, and on the storefront wherever their **Trait Type** is set to show them, as a specification, a filter, or both. See [Choosing what a trait does](product-traits) if a value is not appearing where you expected. --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of the StoreConnect site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
