Data Views are Custom Requirement Sets that are linked to all products in an account and created by users to speed the product data onboarding process. They can be found in the Data Views tab. New Data Views Requirement Sets can be created by all users.
When creating a custom Data Views Requirement Set, you will define attributes, attribute sections, required and optional statuses, required language variants, and category attributes.
Create a Data View
- Navigate to the Data Views List by hovering over the Data Views icon and clicking Data Views in the lefthand navigation bar.
- Click Create New Data View.
- In the top left of the screen, provide the Data View Requirement Set name, select target locale, choose whether to include category attributes, and if you chose to include category attributes select a taxonomy.
