About the Assigned Attribute Details

The following functions are provided for the attributes of an object type via the Assigned Attributes section:

- List, define or update attributes for a particular object type for a particular product.

- Assign and unassign the attributes for an object type.

- Associate valid sets of values (single- or multi-column) for object attributes in the current product. Constraining certain attributes to valid sets is done for particular object types only.

- Set default values, help text, valid set usage, and so on for attributes, and to arrange any of these values into multi-row multi-column blocks.

NOTE For individual objects this function specifies the existence of particular user-defined attributes, but does not assign values to them (other than default values). You specify attribute values for a specific object using the Dimensions web client or Dimensions desktop client.

- Specify rules on updating attributes and role sections.

- Copy existing rules and role sections from elsewhere.

In addition to the Tool Manager and Product Manager, who can update attributes for all object classes, Change Managers can update request attributes and Part Managers can update design part attributes.
