An enumeration value domain provides a selection of possible choices for a value. An interval value domain defines a range of allowed values. Attribute Inheritance Attribute inheritance is one of OCF's fundamental features. A subcategory must have all attributes of its parent category. A product defines values for attributes of its parent category.
Attribute inheritance has a couple of advantages.
Firstly, a search for a attribute value on a high level category can be propagated to the entire product subtree rooted at that category. Therefore, users can efficiently perform searches on any branch of a catalog tree. In addition, attribute inheritance simplifies the category construction process. Since attributes in parent category are automatically inherited, these attributes don't need to be redefined in the newly created category. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
