Attributes

Use the Attributes page to do the following tasks:

  • Manage the types of information you can record for users, devices, and apps.
  • View the standard types of information that Ivanti Neurons for MDM tracks.

Custom user attributes include information such as Department or an internal ID. Each attribute has a corresponding variable that you can use to build groups or distribute configurations.

While creating user rule group criteria, if the custom attributes have a number value, Ivanti Neurons for MDM does not support integer operations.

Renaming a custom attribute

Renaming a custom attribute will rename all references of that custom attribute that are used in the following entities:

  • Custom Policy
  • User group
  • Device group

  • Spaces

References of the custom attribute in any other entities such as configurations, invitation email templates, email and push messages in policy compliance actions, and so on will not be updated.

Deleting a custom attribute will remove its values from all the associated users or devices. It cannot be reversed.

Custom attributes cannot be deleted if the attribute is used in any of the following entities:

  • Custom Policy
  • User group
  • Device group
  • App Distribution Filter
  • Spaces

Remove the custom attribute from the entities before attempting to delete the custom attribute.
