Add / Edit Attributes List View
The purpose of the Add /Edit Attributes page is to add/edit Attributes (Brand, Color, Size, etc) and assign the data types to them. For Attributes with a data type of "List", users can also manage the allowable values that can be assigned. The left side grid is used to add, edit, and remove the Attributes that are associated with the Attribute Type you selected (the attribute type you selected is shown in the page name at the top of the page). The right side grid is used to add, edit, sequence, and removed Attribute Values associated with the Attribute selected in the left side grid. Attributes are used to support transactions and other master files.
