ApplikationAdmin Attributes

Attribute View

In the Attribute view you create attributes to be used to register additional information about different types of objects, nodes, organization groups and persons. Attributes can either be updated automatically by a connection with an external system or be managed manually in Pro 9. Also, a combination can be used.

All attribute information is easily searchable and the result can be exported to reports or used for further work, such as sending email to users, service bookings, multi editing. There are multiple properties that can be applied to each attribute, including automatic service bookings.
