### **Product attributes**

The best way to manage weight options is to set up **Product attributes.** Once you have created attributes, you will be able to select them when creating a new product.

The Product attribute names **cannot** have any empty spaces in between. (i.e. if you are setting a Product attribute for "2lb" it should say **2lb** and not *2 lb*).

Hint: We recommend to leave the **Slug field blank**when creating a new Product attribute, or Attribute term, this will prompt the system to auto-generate an appropriate slug for the product attribute.

1. From your Dashboard, go to **Products > Attributes**.
2. From the **Attributes page***,*enter the **name**for the attribute.
   *Note: Leave the "slug" field empty.*

3. Click the **Add attribute button**when ready*.*
4. Once you have added an attribute (i.e. GrindSize), click on **Configure terms.**

5. To add a new **attribute term**, set its **name**.
   *Note: Leave the "slug" field empty.*
6. (optional) Enter a description.
