Assign attributes to a category

If category attributes have been added to a business category, then they may be assigned to your member on the Advanced tab. Attributes allow online directory visitors to narrow their search for your members within the specified category.

1.	On the Advanced tab, click the symbol that follows the category name.

2.	Click the + sign on the desired attribute group to view the available attributes.

If no attributes are available, you will see a message “There are no attributes available for this category”. Create attributes under Setup->Define Business Categories.

3.	Click to select the checkbox in front of the desired attribute.

4.	Click Close.

5.	This member will now return in the online directory search results when the selected criteria is searched.

Note: Attributes will only display in the online directory for those with 3.0 SEO website modules but staff with any website module version may enter and apply these to your members, allowing preparation of your member data prior to upgrading to the 3.0 modules.
