Creating an Extended Attribute Type

You can create extended attribute types to define the data type and authorized values of extended attributes. Creating extended attribute types allows you to reuse the same list of values for several extended attributes without having to write code.

1. Right-click the Profile\Shared category and select New > Extended Attribute Type.
2. Enter the appropriate properties, including a list of values and a default value.
   
   
   
3. Click Apply to save your changes.

   The new shared type is available to any extended attribute in the Data Type field. You can also define a list of values for a given extended attribute directly in this field (see Extended Attribute Properties).
