Generate Product Names with Attributes and Translations

In the CloudSuite App, you can generate product names automatically, based on a defined structure and selected attributes.

If translations are available, the system generates these product names in multiple languages.

Result​

After completing this recipe, you can generate multiple product names for a selected PIM type.

Prerequisites​

Before starting, ensure the attributes you want to include in your product name (e.g., Color, Size, Material) contain values and the required translations.

Step 1 - Enable Product Name Generation​

  1. In the CloudSuite App, go to PIM > Product PIM Types and select a PIM Type.

  2. Navigate to the Advanced tab.

    Product PIM Types Advanced

  3. Enable Generate product Name

  4. The fields for configuring the product name become available.

Step 2 - Define the Product Name Structure​

  1. In Start name with, enter the beginning of the product name. You can either:

    • Enter static text (for example Running Shoe).

    • Use variables (for example [brand], [pdm_type]
      The system replaces variables with the corresponding product values.

      Example:

      [brand], Running Shoe

      Result:

      Nike Running Shoe

  2. In the Properties for Name, select the attributes. The selected attributes are used to build the product name in the order they are configured.

  3. Click on the edit icon to configure the attributes
    The Define Attribute window opens.

    Define Attribute

  • Attribute: Select the source attributes using the search icon. Select the attributes you want and click OK.

    Select Attribute

  • Character Before/After Attribute value: Enter characters, such as a comma, space, or brackets, to separate values (for example - or space).

  • Attribute name: Check this to include the attribute label (e.g., "Color: Blue" vs. "Blue").

  • UOM after Value: Check this to include units (for example mm, kg).

  • Click OK to save the configuration.

    Example:

    English result: "Nike Running Shoe Blue"

    German result: "Nike Laufschuh Blau"

    Note

    Ensure that each attribute value (e.g., "Blue") has a translation if you use multiple languages (e.g., "Blau" for German).

    See How to add translations for attributes.

Step 3 - Configure Translations​

Configure Translations

  1. Enable Translate the Product name. When enabled, the system generates product names for each selected language
  2. In the Languages table, select the required languages
    The system uses:
  • The translated values from Start name with
  • The translated attribute values

If a translation is missing, the system uses the default language value.

Step 4 - Generate Product Names​

  1. Click Save to store your configurations.
  2. Click Process Translations at the bottom of the screen.

The system:

  • Generates product names for all linked products to this PIM Type.
  • Updates the product name as per the selected language.
