Chapter 4 Managing Profiles

Creating an extended attribute type

Extended attribute types are used to define the data type and authorized values of extended attributes. Extended attribute types are created in the Shared folder. Once defined, these types are available from the Data Type list in the extended attribute property page.

To create an extended attribute type:

1. Right-click the Profile\Shared category and select New→Extended Attribute Type in the contextual menu.
   
   A new extended attribute type is created under the Profile\Shared\Extended Attribute Types category.
2. Select the new extended attribute type and type a name, comment, list of values, and a default value in the corresponding boxes in the right pane of the editor.
   
3. Click Apply.
