[Attributes](https://support.paragon-erp.com/configuring-paragon?hsLang=en#attributes) September 15, 2026 # Set up attribute associations ### **Introduction** In ParagonERP, [attribute values](https://support.paragon-erp.com/what-are-attributes-and-attribute-values?hsLang=en) can have additional information from other attributes associated to them. This can be useful for setting up restrictions on the values available to a user.   For example, a warehouse may have a limited number of associated aisle numbers. We will be using the warehouse/aisle scenario in this article, but any attribute can be used in this manner.   ### Step-by-step instructions: - #### Step 1: Enter attribute setup Click the **settings** button at the top left corner of the screen. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn5e0111a003369897af1c010c4b429377f05d6e61993e5f3a1e2358c6e53334839090ef9d906dbed90f79fc1217509f20-1-1-1-3-1.png) Next, click **attribute setup** from the attribute card.  ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Attribute%20Settings-jpg-Jul-21-2025-11-44-40-1406-AM.jpeg?width=670&height=317&name=Attribute%20Settings-jpg-Jul-21-2025-11-44-40-1406-AM.jpeg) - #### Step 2: Edit an attribute For the purposes of this article, we will edit the warehouse attribute. Remember that attribute associations can be set up on any attribute. Click the **edit** button on the rightmost column of the attribute you would like to modify. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn362d0f17a4f2718b3a78572b8d5c6871f9b91e0ebb67c52afd0c7a13e69b5989b6d5ec7851688fcea72ff38a519cec4a-1-1-1-3-1.png)   - #### Step 3: Access the attribute association modal Click next until you reach the **details** screen. In the **details** screen, notice the **associated** option on the attribute value line. Click the **link** icon for the value line you wish to add attributes on. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn40265c318ce7619be6bee1256e2fb95cf97c8ae4667827e3b87422700a5982f0a01403ad454247a6d32d304772f3e2d7-1-1-1-3-1.png)   - #### Step 4: Add associations In the attribute association modal, select which attributes you want to have associated. In this case, we will pick the **aisle** attribute to associate with our main warehouse and will add two different aisles. Therefore, we need to use the selection two times to add two aisle lines. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn1c01a58445968abc9b6d13c3604560086e3275f59b528527b8da8704a14884d239dc803577fa259de1bcf995a210de79-1-1-1-3-1.png)   With the two aisle lines, we can now select aisles 1 to 2 to associate to the main warehouse. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn44aa1c568777969433bd6b28469e7495fc8e00b7298ac1c9b4b1760353e6fe56ffee52b717090b23f65de70127fd3146-1-1-1-3-1.png) When you have added your desired associations, click the **accept** button. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnde48e90399ebf7b015f744a23ff023f57879ab20eb4f973354ac19f4026748557319f48dc1f68e690e11ae0ce975bfd1-1-1-1-3-1.png) Notice that on the leftmost column for the main warehouse attribute value, there is a blue arrow. This indicates that the warehouse attribute value of main warehouse has its own associated attributes. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsnc0e75db3f1b2025a3dc3b999a90e7865005b17a443bec4d89cf23f153961683f1da01d2156533fb8381fe503fc288939-1-1-1-3-1.png)   - #### Step 5: Save Click the **next** button to continue through the subsequent pages of attribute set up. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn8ac209c907049c2f45cc30f3cd806122ca26fd0941c84727f059005556de6722fcb6cc63dd0fad56e5e1e5be58bc2c61-1-1-1-3-1.png)   Ensure that you click the **save changes** button on the last page. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn08da2a844d2e7b502140cc6f448ec0471f39955ed3dd4bda34beb58265c01563c0ee401cf99780c8f5e6cb38ecd375be-1-1-1-3-1.png)   ### **What's next?** Another use case of attribute associations is to set up sizing scales to include only a certain range of sizes. Learn how to set up [size-scale associations](https://support.paragon-erp.com/setting-up-sizes-for-pivot-view?hsLang=en). Once size-scale associations are set up, [pivot view](https://support.paragon-erp.com/what-is-pivot-view-and-how-to-enable-it?hsLang=en) becomes available.    - [Paragon Basics](https://support.paragon-erp.com/paragon-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) -
