Each bind is defined in the sections below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

Attribute

The selected attribute is bound to the variable.

In this example, the Variable Name is 'eanAttribute', the Binds to field is Attribute, and the Parameters field displays the EAN attribute. The following JavaScript returns the ID of the EAN attribute as an Info log message:

Copy 
var bindDemo = eanAttribute.getID();
log.info("Attribute ID is " + bindDemo);

Attribute Group

The selected attribute group is bound to the variable.

In this example, the Variable Name is 'displayAttrGroup', the Binds to field is Attribute Group, and the Parameters field shows the Display attribute. The following JavaScript returns the ID of the Display attribute group as an Info log message:

Copy 
var bindDemo = displayAttrGroup.getID();
log.info("Attribute Group ID is " + bindDemo);
