Attributes
Attributes are the building blocks of Dynasort’s collection sorting and managed collections functionality. They define how products are ranked, filtered, and prioritized based on key data points.
Multiple Attribute Instances
Section titled “Multiple Attribute Instances”You can use multiple instances of the same attribute for flexibility. For example:
- A Managed Collection could include “Price greater than $20” and “Price less than $100” to select products within a range.
- A Recipe could include full size run conditions for both size and color.
Attribute Availability
Section titled “Attribute Availability”Not all attributes are available for both Collection Sorting and Managed Collections. Dynasort assigns badges to indicate where each attribute can be used:
- Collection Sorting
- Managed Collections
- Partner Attributes
Data Evaluation Badges
Section titled “Data Evaluation Badges”Attributes can also indicate how their data is evaluated:
- Numeric range
- String matching
- Boolean (true/false)
How Attributes Work in Dynasort
Section titled “How Attributes Work in Dynasort”- Collection Sorting: Attributes are weighted within a Recipe to determine ranking.
- Managed Collections: Attributes act as conditions to filter product inclusion.
- Combination use: Many attributes can be used in both.
Frequently asked questions
What is an attribute in Dynasort?
A single data point about a product that Dynasort can score or test: sales, conversion rate, price, margin, inventory, tags, review ratings, metafields and more. Attributes are weighted inside recipes to rank products and used as conditions to build managed collections.
Where can each attribute be used?
Each attribute carries badges showing whether it works in Collection Sorting recipes, Managed Collection conditions, or both. Partner attributes are the review-platform ratings read from apps such as Yotpo and Judge.me.
What do the numeric range, string matching and boolean badges mean?
They describe how the value is evaluated. Numeric range attributes score on a scale between a minimum and maximum, string matching attributes test text such as title or tag with equals or contains, and boolean attributes are true or false, such as Sold Out or On Sale.
How are numeric attributes scored in a recipe?
On a linear scale between the Min and Max you set: at or below Min a product earns zero points from that attribute, at or above Max it earns the full point weight, and in between points scale proportionally. Attributes where lower is better are scored in reverse: bounce rate, bounces, exit rate, exits and the product age attributes, where newer earns more.
Can I use the same attribute twice?
Yes. A managed collection can combine 'Price greater than $20' and 'Price less than $100' for a range, and a recipe can hold two instances with different weights or timeframes.
How many attributes does Dynasort offer?
Nearly fifty, covering sales and revenue, shopper behaviour, price and margin, stock and size availability, product age, catalog text fields, metafields and ratings from ten review platforms. Each has its own page under this section.
