You can archive or delete a ranking attribute when you no longer need it.
Prerequisites
Verify that you can create and manage ranking rules and attributes in the Business Manager.
Your user role determines your level of access to the Business Manager. To change your role and level of access, contact a Business Manager administrator from your team.
Archiving a ranking attribute
|
Important The Publishing action listed for the change is Delete. |
When you no longer need a ranking attribute but you want to be able to use it later, you can archive it. Archiving removes the ranking attribute from the list of available ranking cocktails and places it in the Archive.
When a ranking attribute is moved to the Archive, the following behavior occurs:
- You can still view and modify the ranking attribute from the Archive.
- You cannot select and use the ranking attribute in business rules. FHR no longer lists it as available in drop-down menus for attribute selection.
- Business rules that use the ranking attribute remain listed as active and valid.
- When a business rule that uses the ranking attribute is triggered, the processing related to the ranking attribute is no longer applied. For example, if the business rule sorts products based on the values of the ranking attribute, this sorting is no longer applied.
- FHR no longer shows the ranking attribute and its values as a presentation field if enabled.
You can later restore the ranking cocktail from the Archive and use it again.
Deleting a ranking attribute
|
Important The Publishing action listed for the change is Delete. |
If you no longer need a rule and you don't expect to need it in the future, you can delete it. Deleting removes the rule from the list of ranking rules and places it in the Recycle bin.
This operation places the rule in the Recycle bin. After the rule has spent 30 days there, FHR deletes it permanently and you cannot restore it.
Next steps
- Verify that any rules that use the retired ranking attribute are still valid and work as expected.
- If you have previously enabled the ranking attribute in the presentation fields for your web store, disable it.
- If you have sent the ranking attribute to the Archive or the Recycle bin by mistake, restore the ranking attribute.
