Give a batch of products the same product family in one pass, or clear the family they have. The family decides which attributes a product shows, so this is how you bring a group of products in line with the attributes they should carry. What this page enables: move up to 500 products into the right family at once, and see beforehand which attributes each one gains. Where to find it: on the Products page, select products, click Edit, then Assign product family in the Families, categories & variants group.

Check the preview

The preview lists each product with its family before and after, and “2 attributes added · 0 values kept outside scope”. Click Refresh preview if you changed something in between.
5

Apply

Click Apply to 3 products. WISEPIM confirms “Family updated for 3 products.” and links to Review change history.

​
What happens to attribute values

Existing attribute values stay stored, including values outside the new family. When a product moves to a family without an attribute it has a value for, that value is kept and counted as a value kept outside scope. Move the product back, or add the attribute to the family, and the value shows again. The attributes the new family brings arrive empty, ready for you, an import or AI to fill.

​
Act on what you find

You selected all filtered products, or more than 500. Narrow your filter, check the products yourself and open the action again.
The products have values for attributes the new family doesn’t have. Check whether the family is the right one, or add those attributes to it on the Product Families page.
Open Review change history and undo the run. Values are restored for products nobody edited since.
Let WISEPIM suggest families from your products with guided setup on the Catalog Structure page.
