Learn how to setup centrally managed attributes which can help consistency, efficiency and analysis across layers.
What Are Project-Wide Attributes?
Project-wide attributes are centrally managed attributes that can be applied across multiple layers in your project. They’re ideal for maintaining consistency and simplifying data management.
Benefits include:
- Reduced duplication: Define the attribute once—apply it to any layer. Updates to the attribute automatically reflect across all layers.
- Consistency: Ensure uniform data standards across layers.
- Cross-layer analysis: Analyse attribute data across layers.
How to Create Project-Wide Attributes
Only project administrators can create and manage project-wide attributes. If you're not an admin, contact one to assist.
Steps for Project Administrators:
- Navigate to Settings in the left-hand navigation on the dashboard.
- Open the Attribute Settings tab.
- Click to add a new attribute.
- Select the attribute type (e.g., text, list) and name it.
- (Optional) For list attributes, add selectable items and define additional columns if needed.
For more details on setting up attribute types, refer to the [Attributes Guide].
