Creating dynamic attributes
Dynamic attributes of an employee, job, position, and assignment change according to the context in which they are viewed. For example, a person or team that is responsible for a product changes according to different phases of the production cycle. These custom attributes and their values are displayed on the Overview and Employee roster pages, available for selection under the icon in the toolbar. Values of custom attributes can be specified and edited on the Detail page.
You can import specific values of existing custom attributes to the application from relational modeling tables.
