-====== Attributes ======
-Attributes are additional variables outside of various Object-IDs and descriptions that can be set for a specific [[master:volumes|Volume]]. Attributes can be searched by using the Search Attributes function in the right-click menu of a [[master:customer|Customer Node]] in the [[master:customer_tree|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.

-By default, the type will be set to String. Click String to select either String, Integer, or Date from the Type Drop Down Menu.
-==== Setting Attribute Values ====
-Attribute Values are set at a Volume Level in the Attributes Tab of the Volume Properties Window. To launch the Volume Properties Window for a specific Volume, double-click a Volume in the Volume List or right-click a Volume in the Volume List and select "Properties".
