Attributes add flexibility to your record keeping by giving you the ability to define and store special information about a wide variety of record types. If after entering an attribute value in a number of records in your system you find you need to change the value, you can change all values at once with Global Change and a selection of the affected records. For example, if you have the attribute category “Athletics” and a value of “Soccer” but you need to change all “Soccer” values to “Football,” you can use Global Change to make the change. You can also use the process to add new information to records. For example, if a constituent in the selection does not have an “Athletics” category included on his record but he is included in the record selection, the new data is added to the Attribute tab on his record.
