Linking specification groups to products

Link your newly created specification groups to products in your catalog.

• Step 1: From your catalog, select the product you want to edit.
• Step 2: Under the 'Settings' tab, click on 'Specifications' to see your pre-created groups and specifications.

• Step 3: Add the 'fashion' specification group (or any other group) to your product.

After you’ve added specification groups to a product in KatanaPIM, the product page will display an organized overview of all the specifications linked to the selected groups.

Here's how to interpret and work with this overview:

1. Grouped Specifications Display:
   Once you've added specification groups to a product, they are displayed in expandable sections. Each group will contain all relevant specifications tied to that product, such as Material, Size, and Color in the Fashion specification group.
2. Required vs. Optional Specifications:
   In this view, you can see both required and optional specifications for each group. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the specification name (e.g., Color). This ensures that the critical product information is always complete.
   • Required: Mandatory fields that need to be filled before completing the product setup.
   • Optional: Fields that can be left blank but are useful for additional product details.
3. If you see the word "Duplicated" next to a specification, it means this particular field appears in more than one specification group linked to the product. For example, the field Material could appear in both the Fashion and Digital Product Passport - Fashion groups.
   - Changes to a duplicated field: If you modify the value of the duplicated field (e.g., change "Organic Cotton" to "Polyester"), the change will be reflected across all specification groups where that field is duplicated.
   - Why duplicates occur: This feature is helpful when the same specification (e.g., Material or Manufacturer Name) needs to be consistent across multiple groups. You don’t have to update the same field in multiple places, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
4. ‍Filtering and Searching Specifications:
   You can easily navigate through your specification groups by using the filters and search functionality. Filters include options like:
   - Required/Optional: Allows you to display only required or optional specifications.
   - Filled/Empty: Filter based on which fields are already filled or left blank.
