| + | In Metis, attributes are additional position related information which can be defined as being basically anything. A position is defined through its parameters like order number, description or price for example. Those are predefined information which can describe a position. In many cases they are sufficient, but in order to enhance them, attributes can be defined in Meths Smart Modeling. | ||

| - | + | Attributes can be pictured as customizable position properties. The user can define as many attributes as necessary (they will then appear linked to every position listed in the database). Along with every attribute, the user can also specify an appropriate [[Description_of_the_Menu_Positions#Quantity_Units|quantity unit]] (for example, service hours will have “hours” as quantity units. Most commonly attributes are used to provide positions with characteristics which can then be used in models or to display technical aspects of an offer. | |
The most commonly used type of attributes which can be defined here are, for example, service hours. If a position requires 5 minutes to be installed or maintained, an attribute can be defined to hold this value for a specific items. | The most commonly used type of attributes which can be defined here are, for example, service hours.

| - | + | As described above for attributes, each position can hold a single value for each attribute. In some cases, it might be relevant for one position to have different attribute values depending on the system in which it is used. For example | |
| - | + | Can be used to set identical values to attributes in sets. If no values have been set specifically to the position, it will take the value defined in the attributes set. | |
| - | + | In the Attributes Set subsection, the user can define groups of attributes which will inherit the same attributes. The first step is to create the group using the top menu or right-click menu in the uppermost table. Then, the user should define the value which should be linked to the different attributes. The third step is to link the item to the sets. As shown in the image below, using the and buttons, the user can specify which products should be included in the set and thus inherit the attribute values. | |
