Information that is optional to a value in your data sheet is entered below the attribute itself. That way, the customer immediately recognizes the further possibilities that this attribute additionally offers.
Example:

Product attribute in data sheet:

Spindle actuation by spring force (optionally vacuum, compressed air)

Entry in diribo:

Data entered under the attribute "Spindle actuation": spring force, vacuum, compressed air. Multiple entries such as these must be separated either by comma or by using an Excel column for each entry. If the Vacuum and Compressed Air options are entered under the diribo attribute field "Other Functions/Options", the customer would lose the connection to the function (attribute) of the spindle actuation. It would not be immediately obvious what the basic possibilities of spindle actuation are (spring force, vacuum, compressed air).

In this way, the customer can see the basic possibilities of spindle actuation. Thus, the customer receives information that these functions are optional in the supplier data sheet.

A product type basically has several diagnostic functions such as error self-diagnosis, remote diagnosis, etc.

In this case the attribute "Diagnostic functions" could be available on diribo. At this place you can enter the diagnostics functions. However, in many cases these are individual functions for which a separate attribute field is not meaningful. Then this function is entered under "Other Functions/Options".

The product attribute such as "Error diagnosis" can also be an optional function of the product. If no separate attribute field is available as in this option "Error diagnosis" example, the attribute data can be entered here.

The product data are available exclusively in the form of data sheets. In some data sheets, the item number of a product is composed of multiple attributes. To avoid having to enter this large number manually, all data of an attribute are combined under a master item number.

Example: Speed sensor WUG 8258- K_ _ _ _ _ - V_ _ _ _ _ _ _

K = Speed range (200 rpm | 400 rpm | 600 rpm | 800 rpm | 900 rpm)

V = Shaft diameter (20mm | 35mm | 50mm | 65mm | 80mm)

Under the attributes "Speed range" and "Shaft diameter", all values are entered in diribo.

Enter the basic item number as item number in diribo, for all possible number/value combinations of the product e.g. the designation series. The item number and the entries in diribo cover all possible product combinations. This results in the following item number for the entry in diribo: WUG 8258-series.
