Custom Attributes can be used in circumstances where Item tags would be impractical. For example, it is highly impractical to have a different tag for each ISBN (since every book has a different one). Instead, create a Custom Attribute for the ISBN and then attach the specific number under Item Setup. 

Creating/Editing Custom Attributes

To add or edit custom attributes for the Items, go to Manager > Settings > Departments & Items and select Custom Attributes from the menu on the left:

• To create a new Custom Attribute:
  1. Press Add New.
  2. Enter the attribute name.
  3. Toggle YES to make it Active.
  4. Press Save to save the attribute.
• To edit a Custom Attribute:
  1. Change the attribute name.
  2. Choose whether or not you would like it to be Active.
  3. Press Save to keep your changes.

Adding a Custom Attribute to an Item

To add a Custom Attribute to an Item, go to Manager > Settings > Departments & Items and select Item Setup:

1. Choose an Item from the list to the left or create a new Item by tapping on Add New.
2. Select Page 2 at the top left of the Item Information screen to navigate to the additional information options.
3. Add the desired Custom Attribute to the appropriate line.
4. When complete, click Save.
