Product Items

Items

Items are child products of the parent product you just created. First you must create an 'Attribute' that will hold a unique property for each item.
One example: we want to sell the same product in various colors and sizes.

Create a product to be the parent. Make it 'Product Physical' = 'No'.
Click on the 'Item' Tag and then 'Add Attributes'. Add an attribue called "Color", and one called "Size".

Create Items

1) Create Items individually: Go back to the product->Items and click 'New Item'. Fill in the fields and be sure to fill in the attribute (eg: Color = Blue, Size = S)

2) There is a MyMuse -> Product Pages option called "Show Items in a select dropdown" that can be set by menu item as well. All items with the same name will be shown in a select box. For example you could create the attribute color, then create 4 T-Shirt items with the attributes red, blue, green, yellow. They will show in a select box.

3) Create your attributes (Ex: Color and Size) with default values (Ex: 'Red Green Blue' and 'Small Medium Large'. Then click "Create Items". This will clear any current items and create a set of items with the parent name and each combination of the attribute names.
