# Add product attribute field

During data entry for a product, it can be needed to classify the product using category hierarchies. In a data entry workflow, you can add the needed product attributes.

If the **EcoResProduct** table is part of your workflow document records, you can add product attributes to a field group. The product attributes are added as **Virtual** field to the field group and workflow document.

To be able to define product attributes during data entry, you must also add these fields to the same field group:

- **Category hierarchy**
- **Category**

With the **Select fields** function of the step, you can select these fields from the **Product categories** page.

### Steps

1. Go to Data entry **workflow** > **Design** > **Data entry workflow templates**.
2. In the list, click the link of the desired data entry workflow template.
3. On the **Action** Pane, click **Versions**.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. In the **Steps** section, in the tree, select the desired field group.
6. On the **Fields** tab, click **Add**.
7. Click **Product attribute**.
8. Use these fields to filter the product attributes:

In the **Category hierarchy** field, enter or select the desired category hierarchy.
  - **Category hierarchy**
  - **Category**
  - **Not included in template**
9. In the **Category** field, enter or select the desired category.
10. You can show only the product attributes that are not yet added to the data entry workflow template.

Select the **Not included on template** check box.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Also, the product attributes that are added to other field groups in the data entry workflow template are not shown.
11. In the **Available** list, find and select the desired product attributes.
12. Click **Add (->).**
13. Click **OK**.
