Editing Picker Aspects

Name

This is the name of the item that will show in the platform, so must be edited according to your marketing guidelines. In the above examples: Choose a Size and Select Your Size.

Internal Name

The name that will be displayed in Sanity - it will help you quickly identify and organize your picker aspects.

 

Picker Aspect Options

This is where you configure the different options you wish your Picker to show. In the below example, we add the picker aspects for Burger King’s Classic Fries, with the following options:

  • Value

  • Small

  • Medium

  • Large

When you create each option, you will be asked for:

  • Identifier: a name consisted only of letters, which will be ingested by the system. Choose a name that clearly refers to this product. Do not worry, it won’t be shown to the guest.

  • Name: this is the name that guests will see. As such, should follow your marketing guidelines.

  • Hide Name in Item Preview: toggling this option will hide the name in the platform, showing only the image to the user.

  • Show in Static Menu: toggling this option will show this picker aspect option in the Static Menu, before a Service Mode or store is selected. This is the equivalent to your National Menu, but it does not mean all of the items are available for purchase for Delivery or Pickup, for example.

  • Description: a description of this picker aspect.

  • Image: this is the image that is shown for the picker aspect.

  • Image Description: this will be the text for the alt attribute on the image.

The alt attribute is the HTML attribute used in HTML and XHTML documents to specify alternative text (alt text) that is to be rendered when the element to which it is applied cannot be rendered.

It is also important for SEO purposes, as this description is what allows search engines (like Google) to connect this image to a search. By adding the Plant-based Whopper description, there is a chance users will find this image in Google Images, which can lead to traffic in the platform
