Toolio uses attributes for planning and reporting. You can think of attributes, as dimensions you want to report by or as columns on an Excel sheet. For each of Toolio's data models (e.g. Product, Sale, Inventory), you can add as many attributes as you would like.

Attributes are placeholders for data you want to associate with a model. Let's take two examples:

For the product model, you might want to associate store fabric, silhouette, vendor information.

For the sale model, you might want to store whether the sale was for a new or returning or the channel the sale happened in.

In each of the above cases, you will want to have an attribute for respective model. Once you have created an attribute on a model, you can save (or import) information on that attribute, and use it for reporting or planning.

Each attribute can have a type, which allows Toolio to validate that attribute's data and customize how that attribute appears. Below are the different attribute types supported on Toolio.

Attachment attribute is used to add images as an attribute. Images can be added to Toolio using one of the following mechanisms:
