Editing or Deleting a Custom Attribute

  1. Click System Settings, click User Setup, and then click Custom Attributes.
  2. In the Custom Attributes list, click anywhere in an existing attribute's row.
  3. Do one of the following:

Important: Not all changes are allowable. For example, you cannot change the attribute type from Text to Whole Number if a list of assignable values already exists and any of the values contain anything except integers. You will also not be allowed to delete a value from the Assignable Values list if it is currently assigned to one or more users or groups. If a change is not allowable, you will see an error message when you click Save.

Important:

  • Deleting a custom attribute is an irreversible action (deleted attributes are NOT placed in the Archive).
  • The deletion will fail if the custom attribute is currently assigned to any user group. Remove the group assignments and then try to delete the attribute again.
