In Metis, attributes are additional position related information which can be defined as being basically anything. The user can define as many attributes as necessary (they will then appear in every position). Along with every attribute, the user can also specify the appropriate [[Description_of_the_Menu_Positions#Quantity_Units|quantity unit]] (for example, service hours will have “hours” as quantity units.

A real link between a position and its attribute is only done once the attribute holds a value for a specific product. This allows, through Metis Smart Modeling, to set numerical characteristics to positions. Once a position is inserted in an offer, the defined attributes is displayed and can be modified ( based on [[#Systems|defined settings]]), but attributes for which no values have been given in Metis Smart Modeling can edited in MSQ. |
