Creating an Attribute

A technical user creates attributes, an attribute is created to capture a piece of information. Attributes are grouped within classes.

The Attribute name is not localizable and should not contain multibyte or accented characters. If the user needs to localize the label displayed in the attribute add the localized version in the "Display Name" field in the Business Tab of the property panel.

Attributes can be renamed by updating the "Attribute" field in the Technical Tab of the property panel. If an attribute has been renamed, the user must manually resolve any dependencies to the attribute.
