Creating an attribute

To create a new attribute:

  1. Click + Add in the Attributes section of a custom or extension object.
  2. Specify this information:
    Name
    This name is used to identify the attribute and is displayed as a tile in the Attributes section in the Object page. The attribute name is mandatory, must be unique, and cannot exceed 50 characters.
    Type
    The type of attribute defines what data type the attribute is. The type is mandatory, and you can select one of these values:
    • float
    • integer
    • string
    • time stamp.
  3. Click Save to save the attribute details. The newly added attribute is displayed as the first item on the list in the Attributes section of the Object page.
    To edit an attribute, you can open the same dialog box by clicking More Actions in the top right corner of the attribute and then select Edit from the drop-down menu.
Note: Name must be unique between the parent object and all its related extension objects.
