Custom Attributes







Custom Attributes are labels that you can assign to both Customer and Inventory records. They give you the ability to exclude from a report, or include, specific customers or inventory items. In example, an Attribute of "Discontinued Item" could be assigned to inventory items that the manufacturer no longer makes. Or you could create a customer ranking using Attributes: Gold, Silver, Bronze.



Example of a report using Custom Attributes filters:

  • Customers with a Ranking of Gold or Silver will be included
  • Customers with a Ranking of Bronze will be excluded
  • Discontinued Inventory Items will be excluded

There are only two steps to using Attributes:

  1. Creating the Attribute
  2. Assigning the Attribute to the customer or inventory record

How do we tell users to get to Utopia gracefully?
