# Add dynamic attributes to products

Use one of the following methods to add a dynamic attribute to a product:

- [Knowledge base Excel spreadsheet](/v1/docs/add-dynamic-attributes-to-products#add-a-dynamic-attribute-from-a-knowledge-base-excel-spreadsheet)
- [Knowledge base user interface](/v1/docs/add-dynamic-attributes-to-products#add-a-dynamic-attribute-from-the-knowledge-base-ui)
- [Knowledge base class](/v1/docs/add-dynamic-attributes-to-products#add-a-dynamic-attribute-to-the-knowledge-base-class-for-a-classified-product)

## Add a dynamic attribute from a knowledge base Excel spreadsheet

To add a dynamic attribute to a product from a knowledge base Excel spreadsheet, follow the **Create a dynamic attribute from a knowledge base Excel spreadsheet** in [Create dynamic attributes](/v1/docs/create-dynamic-attributes).

## Add a dynamic attribute from the knowledge base UI

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Products**.
2. Select a product.
3. From the top navigation bar, select **Knowledge Base**.
4. Select a knowledge base.
5. On the **Attributes** tab, select ![](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/CPQ-icon_add.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-02T13%3A48%3A47Z&se=2026-11-02T14%3A48%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXmfGShPW6svi1YHb4SouUIEcC5L6Ye0KMkP9rdhC3I%3D).
6. Select dynamic attributes, then select **Add**.

## Add a dynamic attribute to the knowledge base class for a classified product

          Tip

          

You can also synchronize classified products from an external ERP system if you integrated Zilliant CPQ with it. For details, read [About SAP ERP integration](/v1/docs/about-sap-erp-integration).

You can define dynamic attributes of a classified product using a knowledge base class (KBClass). A KBClass serves as the knowledge base for classified products but does not permit the definition of configuration rules.

To create a new class with dynamic attributes:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Model**.
2. From the top navigation bar, select **Classes Management**.
3. Select ![](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/CPQ-icon_add.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-02T13%3A48%3A47Z&se=2026-11-02T14%3A48%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXmfGShPW6svi1YHb4SouUIEcC5L6Ye0KMkP9rdhC3I%3D) to create a new class. Enter a name for the class, then select **Create**.
4. Select the created class from the list.
5. On the **Attributes** tab, select ![](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/CPQ-icon_add.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-02T13%3A48%3A47Z&se=2026-11-02T14%3A48%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXmfGShPW6svi1YHb4SouUIEcC5L6Ye0KMkP9rdhC3I%3D) to add dynamic attributes. Select attributes, then select **Add**.
6. On the bottom button bar, select **Save**.  

The new class with dynamic attributes is created.

Now, you need to assign the new class to a classified product:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Products**.
2. Select a classified product.
3. From the top navigation bar, select **Knowledge Base**.
4. Select a link button to link the knowledge base class to the product.
5. [Create a knowledge base snapshot](/v1/docs/create-a-knowledge-base-snapshot) to assign the default value for dynamic attributes in the class.
