Storing additional data about products

[erichar11]

Hi all,

I need to store additional data about products which is not available for customrs. Each product may contain heigh, width, depth, etc. however each product may have a completely different set of attributes.

Now I know miva has an attributes function, but these seem to be visable to the end user. I'm not sure if the miva attributes are the correct way of storing additional info about a product that I can query against. So what's the best method of storing data associated with a given product that is not publicly displayed. Thanks.

Custom product fields that is built into MM5. Go to admin:store:utilities and assign the custom fields module.

Thanks, but when using custom fields, is it possible to assign a custom field to a specific product. For example, product A has a custom field (customField a) and product B has a custom field (customField B) and Product C has (customField A and customField B).

Custom fields are created. They are filled at the individual product edit screen (or when importing from flat file). If they are empty, they are empty. Only the fields you put data in will be assigned to that specific product.
