5. On the form that appears, set the Name for the attribute. This will be a word that describes the grouping of option values, like "Size" or "Color."
6. Under the Values table, enter the name of your first value in the textbox, then click the Add Value button. This will add it to the table. Repeat Step 6 until you have your full list of available options (you can always add more later). An option will typically be something like "Blue" or "Red" if your attribute is "Color."
