| Overview |
You can assign attributes to any Change/ECO.
Attributes provide you with a way to describe the Change/ECO in a more structured manner than the Reason and Description text fields.
You can set required attributes for each Change Type.

To modify the attributes, click the Edit Attributes toolbar button.
This will place the fields in an edit mode and allow the user to set field values.

Depending on the value type, you will be able to select a value from a drop list (pick list), type a value (user edit), or select from a list (multiple values).

To copy an individual field, check the field checkbox next to the attribute field.

Attribute Group Filter |
Top |

Attributes can be grouped into user-defined collections.
These "collections" can then provide different attribute views on the Attributes page of the Item Master form in Desktop.
Attribute Groups are defined in the Administrator.
Selecting a group will modify the Attribute list to display only the attributes defined for that group.
The Attributes list will contain 3 default attribute filters:
- <Applied> - Lists only those attributes that have values
- <All> - Lists all attributes (assigned and unassigned)
- <Required Attributes> - Displays the Required Attributes (assigned in the Administrator)
