| Admin Attributes are custom attributes that can be added to store admin accounts if the default options are insufficient for the store's needs. The Search Admin Attributes page provides options to review, manage, and make bulk changes to them.
Admin Attribute Columns
SID (System ID)
The SID (System ID) is a unique number that identifies the attribute to the system. This number is set by the software and cannot be changed.
Display Order
The display order is used to designate the order that admin attributes are displayed in admin area. Lower numbers are displayed first.
Title
The title of the attribute appears to the left of the attribute in the admin account editor.
Type
The type of attribute is the method of data input (such as a text field or a dropdown menu).
Unique
If an attribute is set to unique, the data that is saved for the attribute in each admin account must be unique.
Required
If an attribute is set to be required, each new admin account must have the attribute populated.
Strict
If an attribute is set to strict, only letters, numbers, and underscores can be typed into the attribute.
Encrypt
If an attribute is set to encrypt, the data associated with the attribute will be encrypted in the store database.
Internal
The attribute will only apply to the admin area, and not the storefront.
Email
The attribute will be included in all store generated emails sent to the admin account.
Notes
Notes are hidden and displayed to store administrators only. Click on the number to view/edit the note or to add a new note.
Active
An active attribute appears in the admin account editor, while an inactive attribute does not. A (green dot) in this column indicates that the attribute is active, while a (grayed-out red X) indicates that the attribute is inactive.
