The Attribute field set includes fields that map to the Attributes tab of an applicant, student, individual, or organization record in The Education Edge.
On an Online Admissions form, you can add this field set to the Applicant, Address, Education Relationship, Education Relationship (Organization), Financial Aid, Individual Relationship, and Organization Relationship categories.
On an Online Reenrollment form, you can add this field set to the Student category.
When you add an Attribute field set to a form, you must select an attribute type. The record type determines which attribute types are available. For example, when you add an Attribute field set to the Applicant category, you select from the attribute types for applicant records in Configuration in The Education Edge. For information about attributes in The Education Edge, see the Configuration Guide.
Warning: To ensure that you do not delete attribute information in the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment Plug-in when you match to record of a different type, the same attributes must exist for both record types. For example, you can match an individual record from a form to a faculty record in the database. If an attribute type exists for individual records in Configuration but not for faculty records, the plug-in will not add the attribute to the faculty record when you process the transaction.
