Custom Attributes

Learn how to create and manage custom attributes in Moselle. Attributes help you organize products, filter your catalog, and build custom reports.

Custom attributes let you add structured data to your products beyond the standard fields. Use attributes to organize your catalog, filter items on the planning page, and create custom reports.

How Attributes Work

Attributes are account-wide. When you create an attribute on any product, that attribute becomes available for all products in your Moselle account. You only need to create each attribute once.

Common Attribute Examples

Attribute	Example Values	Use Case
Product Line	"Summer 2024", "Core Collection"	Filter forecasts by collection
Product Type	"T-Shirt", "Hoodie", "Accessories"	Group similar items
Material	"Cotton", "Polyester", "Blend"	Production planning
MOQ	"100", "500", "1000"	Minimum order quantities
Safety Stock	"30", "45", "60"	Preferred days on hand
Production Lead Time	"14", "30", "60"	Days to produce

Add an Attribute to a Product

1. Open the item details page for any product

2. Scroll to the Custom Attributes section

3. Click + Add

4. In the dropdown, either:

   • Select an existing attribute from the list

   • Type a new attribute name and click Add New

5. Enter the value for this product

6. Click Save

Once you create a new attribute on one product, you can assign values to that attribute on any other product in your catalog.

Attributes and CSV Import

Before importing items with custom attributes via CSV, you must create each attribute in Moselle first. The import validates attribute columns against existing attributes in your account. If an attribute column in your CSV does not match an existing attribute, the entire upload will fail silently.

How to Prepare for Import

1. Identify all attributes you want to include in your CSV

2. Create each attribute by adding it to any single product in Moselle

3. Verify attributes exist by checking the attribute dropdown on any item

4. Then upload your CSV with the attribute columns

Example Workflow

If you want to import items with a "Season" attribute:

1. Open any existing product in Moselle

2. Add a custom attribute named "season" with any value (e.g., "placeholder")

3. Now "season" is available account-wide

4. Your CSV import with a "season" column will work correctly

See Import Your Items for complete CSV import instructions.

View All Attributes

To see all attributes currently defined in your account:

1. Go to any item details page

2. Click + Add under Custom Attributes

3. The dropdown shows all available attributes

Attributes in Forecasting and Reports

Attributes appear as filter options on:

• The Planning page forecast views

• Custom reports in Analytics

• Export files when downloading your catalog

Use consistent attribute naming to get the most value from filtering and reporting.
