Introduction

Attricat is a versioned catalog engine. You define the shape of your data with blueprints, create entities from those blueprints, and use contexts where a value varies by place, channel, or other hierarchy.

The main ideas

• Blueprints are versioned definitions for entity types, attributes, and layouts.
• Entities are catalog records. They retain the exact blueprint revision they were created with.
• Contexts let an attribute inherit a default value or define an intentional local override.
• Relationships connect entities without losing their type or history.

A typical workflow

1. Create and publish a blueprint, such as product.
2. Create entities from the published blueprint.
3. Add contexts when a value needs to differ by market, channel, or location.
4. Find and maintain records in Entity explorer.
5. Review changes in the activity log.

The available actions depend on the permissions granted in your workspace.
