Attribute
This table allows users to add custom attribute fields to the frePPLe data models.
The attribute fields are automatically defined in the database. They behave exactly like any other field: editing, exporting, importing, sorting, filtering… are all possible.
Note: All scenarios must have the same attribute definitions. Only the attributes defined in the production scenario are used. And only the production scenario has the attribute definition screen in its menus.
Important
After any change to the attribute definitions, the database structure needs to be altered and the web application is also automatically restarted. This can take some time, so be patient.
