# Set up attribute-based product naming

You can use the engineering attributes to configure the product number, product name, and product description. If you do so, on creation of the product, you must set the engineering attribute values. As a result, the product number, product name, and product description are set automatically, based on these attribute values.

### Steps

1. Go to **Product engineering** > **Setup** > **Engineering product type**.
2. In left pane, find and select the desired engineering product type.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. In the **Description rule** field, select an option.
5. You can only enter s description formula, if the **Description rule** is set to **Attribute**.

If you click this field, a dialog is opened in which you can enter [%attribute.name].

To enter the value in this field, on the dialog, click **OK**.

In the **Description formula** field, enter or select a value.
