Attributes

Available from 4.4.0

Attributes allow data to be added to Concept Evolution beyond the capabilities of the standard database schema.

Additional fields are often required to store additional information relating to such things as Buildings, Asset life-cycle and BIM.

Attributes allows the system administrator to create required fields and dictate the value types stored against many entities in Concept Evolution.

Icon	Feature	Description
	Attribute Library Categories	Attribute Libraries Categories allow a User to categorise Attributes. This makes reporting on Attributes much easier.
	Attribute Lookups	Attribute Lookups are used to maintain a common list of lookup values, these can be added to the Attribute (held in the Attribute Libraries) to control the information a User records against an Entity. These could be generic drop downs e.g. Yes / No / NA, or entity specific information or outputs.
	Attribute Library	Attribute Libraries allow the creation of the Attribute fields that will be mapped to an entity in the system. Once the Attribute has been created it can be added to an Attribute Group, the Group's content can then be mapped to the entity.
	Attribute Groups	Attribute Groups allow a User to gather a list of Attributes into an Attribute Group. This Group can then be applied to an entity via either the "map to all" function, via the Smart Mapping process or can be manually applied.
