Custom Attributes¶

Custom Attributes are labels that you can assign to both Customer and Inventory records. They give you the ability to include, or exclude, specific customers or inventory items from reports. 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 system using Attributes of: 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 utilizing Attributes. 1) Creating the Attribute and then 2) assigning the Attribute to the customer or inventory item.

To access the Custom Attributes screen, select Custom Attributes under Company:











Select Search to list all the current Attributes.









 

 When using the Name search box, use a % before the text of the Attribute you are looking for.
