Creating an Attribute Value Matrix

Go to ADMIN SETUP> Product Administration > Attributes Rules. The Attributes Rules page is displayed.
Click the Create New drop-down button and click Attribute Value Matrix(AVM). The New Product Attribute Matrix page is displayed.

Enter the following details:

Field	Description
Rule Name	Enter a name of the Attribute Value Matrix.
Is Active	Turn this setting on to make the matrix active.
Description	Enter a description of the Attribute Value Matrix.
Effective Date	Select the date from which the Attribute Value Matrix is in effect.
Expiration Date	Select the date until which the attribute value matrix is valid.
Application Type	Select the application type. Supported values are Default: Selecting this lets you choose the picklist values which you have configured as default values in the Matrix View. The rest of the values are visible in the drop-down list, but you cannot select any of them on the Cart. Constraint: Selecting this value lets you choose only those picklist values which you have configured in the Matrix View. All the other values are disabled in the drop-down list on the cart. This also works with the Multi-select picklist. Force Set: Selecting this value lets you automatically set the picklist values which you have configured in the Matrix View (considering the last user selection). As soon as you change the attribute value for one attribute, the system sets the attribute values for other attributes immediately. If there is a Matrix entry with null values and Treat Null As Wildcard is set to false, the system resets the attribute values to null.
Treat Null as Wildcard	This field works in conjunction with Application Type. If you select this check box, all the picklist values (default or constrained) configured in the Matrix View are available for selection on the Cart. Deselecting this check box disables all the picklist values on the Cart.
