Overview

In UNBXD, dimension mapping refers to mapping various attributes or characteristics of a product to specific filters, facets, or categories that help users refine their search results or navigate product listings. Dimensions in UNBXD are typically product attributes such as:

Field Name	Description
Brand	The brand name of the product.
Price	The selling price of the product.
Size	The size(s) available for the product.
Color	The color(s) available for the product.
Category	The product category or classification.
Material	The materials used in the product.
Ratings	The average customer rating of the product.
Discount	The discount value or percentage applied.

Netcore Unbxd enables you to map these attributes (which serve as your dimensions) to search filters and facets, allowing users to refine their search and find products that match their preferences.

For Example: When you define the brand as a dimension in UNBXD, users can filter results by brands. Similarly, price range can be mapped to allow users to filter products by specific price bands.

Map Product Attributes

The mapping process ensures that these attributes are correctly recognized and used for creating dynamic filters in your search or product listing pages. This enhances the search experience by enabling users to easily drill down into product categories.

Troubleshoot & FAQs

What happens if I update my product feed—do I need to remap attributes?

No, once your dimension and product card mappings are set, you only need to ensure new feed fields follow the same naming and structure. If new fields are added, map them accordingly.

Some of the product filters missing in Search or Browse Preview

This could be because the required product attributes are not correctly mapped in Dimension Mapping or the attribute values are missing in your product feed. Navigate to Manage > Catalog > Dimension Mapping and ensure the attributes are listed under Essential Fields or Vertical Fields. Ensure your product feed includes valid data for those attributes you want to use as filters or facets.

I seeing a popup warning about missing dimension mapping attributes

Check the required attributes (like Title, Image URL, or Selling Price) are missing either in your feed or in your mapping configuration. Review your Dimension Mapping to ensure all required fields are mapped. Re-upload your product feed and confirm that the values for the essential attributes are present.

My attribute filters behaving unexpectedly

The field types might be incorrectly configured (e.g., a number stored as text). Fields intended for filtering may not be marked as Facetable. Check that the field type matches its intended use (e.g., price should be numeric). Ensure the field is marked as Facetable in the backend. If the issue persists, contact Unbxd Support for further assistance.
