All information on an attribute on a single screen.
Fix inconsistencies for good
With every new editor and every expansion of your range, the spelling variants in your attribute values multiply. What is a small inconsistency today becomes a dozen broken filters in six months, losing purchases to the competition every day. The longer the situation lasts, the more expensive the one-off cleanup becomes and the more clearly it shows in conversion and support effort.
What the OPAL solves for you
1.All information on an attribute on a single screen, without switching pages.
2.Spelling variants are actively suggested as you type, so broken filters never arise in the first place.
3.Duplicate attribute names are detected and blocked when created – before they cause confusion in the filter.
Before / After
A customer filters for 'Cotton' and sees 12 winter coats. There are 47 in the range; the rest are stored as 'cotton' in the record.
All 47 coats appear under a single filter value. She compares, chooses and buys.
After every change of season, your team spends two days cleaning up attributes. At the season after next, it starts all over again.
The cleanup is no longer needed, because new spelling variants can no longer be entered in the first place.
You are planning a winter coat campaign and need all items containing wool. You click through hundreds of products because 'wool' exists in four spellings.
You open the attribute and see the complete list immediately, clean and complete.

All attribute info on one screen
When you select the 'Material' attribute, you immediately see the assigned items, all previous values and the categories in which it appears as a filter.
Value suggestions as you type
If someone types 'Cot...' into a value field, 'Cotton' immediately appears as an existing variant. One click and the value is set cleanly, identical to all other entries.
Duplicate attribute names are blocked
Anyone trying to create a new attribute whose name already exists gets an immediate message. Duplicate attributes with almost identical spellings no longer arise.
Category assignment via a checkbox tree
The entire category tree appears with indentation and checkboxes. Already assigned categories are highlighted in colour. Assignment with one click, active immediately.
Attribute tab in category management
When editing a category, a new tab shows you which attributes are assigned and in which order they appear in the frontend. Order saved immediately via drag and drop.
Attribute tab in product management
When maintaining a product, you see the assigned attributes with their values on the left and the still available ones on the right. Values from the suggestion list or as free text, language-specific per language version.

What the OPAL delivers here
In one interface you see which attributes are maintained how, where gaps exist and which values already exist. Data cleanup as a recurring task disappears from your monthly plan. When management asks why the filters now work, you have a concrete answer: spelling variants are prevented at input. Conversion on the category pages recovers, because customers can find again what you have in your range.
