# Set up attribute types

Attributes provide a way to further describe a product and its characteristics through user-defined fields. For example: Memory size, Hard disk capacity, and Energy star compliance.

Attributes are based on attribute types. The attribute type identifies the type of data that can be entered for a specific attribute.
