How Do I Set Up Additional Attributes for Dietary Icons (Menuworks)

When using Menuworks for product integration, dietary icons can be displayed on your menu by setting up Additional Attributes for each icon. When set up correctly, dietary icons will automatically be enabled/disabled by Menuworks integration. The steps below will walk through creating Icon Attributes for your Products.

You will need to have the latest dietary icons in PNG format before creating Icon Attributes in EngagePHD.

It recommended that the icon files are created at 50×50 pixels and PNG format.
