Creation and configuration of attributes is carried out using the Attribute Builder. The Attribute Builder is presented as a wizard-style dialog.
When creating a new attribute, the Attribute Builder allows you to select the type of attribute you wish to build. Having done so, the Attribute Builder is customized in accordance with the type of attribute with which you are working to allow you to capture its specific properties.
The Attribute Builder also allows you to configure an existing attribute. In this case, you may not define the type of the attribute.
In both cases, the Attribute Builder allows you to record details of a number of generic properties, shared by all attribute types.
When you have finished specifying the attribute's properties, you may Finish the Attribute Builder wizard. Doing so saves details of the new or updated attribute to the RPI file system. New attributes are created within a folder of your choosing.
You may also cancel the Attribute Builder, in which case any changes that you have made are lost.
