Attribute Groups

An Attribute Group is a cluster of Attributes that make product operation user friendly.

Having Attribute Groups makes it easier for the user groups to focus on a selected group of Attributes that they want to work on. Attribute Groups can consist of n-number of Attributes that are easily manageable from a single page.

For example, for a Phone, Memory is an Attribute Group that consists of Attributes such as RAM, ROM, external memory card capacity, to name a few.
