What are Custom Attributes?
Custom Attributes let you add custom metadata to Spaces, Events, and Users. This makes it easier to organize information, filter results, and generate reports based on your institution’s workflow.
For example, you can create an attribute called Subject and assign values like Biology and Physics to one user, and Chemistry to another. You can then quickly filter users by subject in just a few clicks.
Note:
If you do not see the Custom Attributes settings, this feature may not yet be enabled for your institution. Please contact Pencil Spaces Support for assistance.
