About Entity Attributes
Each attribute can have several values. You can set up the values for each attribute so users can select these. This makes sure values recorded for each attribute are consistent within your agency.
You can edit the attributes of entities that aren't selected. For example, if your agency extends the Document entity by using compound miscellaneous entities and then deselects the Document entity type so no one can add standard document entities, you can update the attributes of all the compound entity types by updating the attributes of the Document entity type.
Entity types that aren't selected show as [Deselected] beside the Select Type drop-down.
To manage the attribute codes you can apply to entity attributes, select Admin > Code Tables > Attributes > Types.
