One of the first steps when creating a product is to choose the attribute set that is used as a template for the product record. The attribute set determines the fields that are available during data entry, and the values that appear to the customer.
The attributes are organized into groups that determine where they appear in the product record. Your store comes with an initial attribute set (called default) that includes a set of commonly used attributes. If you would like to add only a few attributes, you can add them to this default attribute set. If you sell products that require specific types of information, it might be better to create a dedicated attribute set that includes the specific attributes needed for the product.
On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set.
Click Add New Set.
Enter a Name for the attribute set.
Set Based On to an existing attribute set to be used as a template.
click Save.
The next page displays the following:
To add an attribute to the set, drag the attribute from the Unassigned Attributes list to the appropriate folder in the Groups column.
System attributes are marked with a dot and cannot be removed from the Groups list. They can, however, be dragged to another group in the attribute set.
When complete, click Save.
In the Groups column the attribute set, click Add New.
Enter a Name for the new group, and click OK.
Do either of the following:
The new group becomes a section of attributes in any product that is based on the attribute set.
On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set.
Select the attribute set in the list, and open in edit mode.
Click Delete.
When prompted to confirm, click OK.
