Managing Attributes

To manage an attribute, in the Knowledge Builder go to the Edit menu and select Attributes.

You can search for attributes within the Attribute Editor using the search bar at the top of the window. This search is not case-sensitive and filter all attributes that contain the text you have entered.

To move the attributes to a new position in the list click on the attribute and drag it to the preferred location. Multiple attributes can be moved by using CTRL-Click or SHIFT-Click.

Other case view properties of existing attributes can be customised. Right click on the attribute and select Attribute Display. The Attribute properties window will open:
