To manage a product catalog there are generally four types of attributes
Required Attributes and Basics
Item Specifics
Functional Fields (groups, labels, listing)
Channel Specific Fields
Note that Zentail includes default templates that include most if not all of these. We also offer all channel attributes without additional set up or customization needed.

Notes:
Additional channel categories may require additional fields. For instance, Clothing on Amazon requires a 'Clothing Type', and Walmart requires an 'ESRB Rating' for video games. These category-specific requirements could be added to any templates as needed.
This template is called 'Catalog Report' and will only show up in Export (because it includes a Pivot Attributes column). When importing, we recommend using Templateless
