Add additional attributes for applications

This topic describes how to create additional attributes for admin-added applications and specify the corresponding values to an attribute for each admin-added application.

For example, if you need to search for applications with licenses expiring within a certain period, you can create a new attribute called LicenseExpiry from the Customization page or directly within the application. Then, assign a date and time value to indicate when the license will expire.

To add application attributes:

  1. Go to Settings > Customization > Additional Attributes > Applications> Add.

  2. Enter a Name for the attribute.

  3. Select the attribute Type from the drop-down list.

    Type

    Description
    Text

    Allows any string.
    Number

    Allows numbers with decimals.
    Boolean

    Results in a drop-down list for the attribute value. For example, True or False.
    Date and Time

    Results in a date and time picker for the attribute value.
  4. (Optional) Enter a Description for the attribute.
  5. Click Add. The new attribute displays on the Additional Attributes page.

  1. Go to Web Apps > Application Settings > Additional Attributes > Add.

  2. Enter a Name for the attribute or select an existing attribute.

  3. Select the attribute Type from the drop-down list.

    4. Type

    Description
    Text

    Allows any string.
    Number

    Allows numbers with decimals.
    Boolean

    Results in a drop-down list for the attribute value. For example, True or False.
    Date and Time

    Results in a date and time picker for the attribute value.
  4. Enter a Value for an attribute based on the attribute type you selected above.
  5. (Optional) Enter a Description for the attribute.
  6. Click Add. The new attribute displays on the Additional Attributes page.
You can access the attributes created in the application from Settings > Customization > Additional Attributes > Applications.
You can add a maximum of 10 additional attributes for applications.

Define an existing application attribute

  1. Go to Web Apps > select any application. The Application Settings appears.

  2. Click Additional Attributes > Add.

  3. From the Name drop-down, select an existing attribute.

  4. Enter a Value based on the attribute type.

For example, a boolean (True/False) attribute type will have a drop-down list, while a Text attribute type allows any string.

  1. Click Add.
When adding an existing attribute to an application, you cannot edit its Name and Type. You can only update the value of the attribute.
