Custom Attributes
Customer 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:
- Create the Attribute
- Assign the Attribute to the customer or inventory record
