-====== Attributes ======
-Attributes are additional variables outside of various Object-IDs and descriptions that can be set for a specific Volume. Attributes can be searched by using the Search Attributes function in the right-click menu of a Customer Object in the Customer Tree.
-===== Adding and Maintaining Attributes =====
-Attributes are divided into three main pieces: Attribute, Type, and Value.
-Attribute: An Attribute is an item that can have many variables assigned to it, similar to a category.
-Type: There are three types of acceptable Attribute: Dates, Integers, and Strings.
-Value: The Values are the unique variables that are assigned to each Attribute on a Volume level.
-Setting Attributes and Types
-Attributes and types are set at a Customer level by right-clicking a Customer in the Customer Tree and selecting "Properties". This will launch the Customer Properties Window. Select the Attributes tab.
