Extended Attributes
Extended attributes are basic building blocks of Forms that extend system-defined Standard Attributes available for some object types. When included on a form, Extended Attributes work as a custom field to track information and can include any kind of information such as demographics, energy usage, site technology.
Your Administrator configures Extended Attributes so that you can enter data in forms in a way that aligns with your organization’s business processes. Your Administrator can place an Extended Attribute on a Form to include it in the Siterra database so that you can enter data in custom fields that they have created.
