General Field Attributes

Field attributes provide additional capabilities. Attributes are set on the Advanced page of the Field Properties dialog.

General attributes are additional pieces of information (or meta-data) that can be associated with a field. Some attributes are automatically set, but others must be provided manually. For example, a Knowledge Category general attribute indicates that a field contains a category that should be submitted for Knowledge review.

For more information about attributes, please contact Support.
