Create Custom Attributes through Imports

Updated

Custom Attributes are data fields that you can add to the profiles in your Organizer Universe. They allow you to store additional data elements for which there is no pre-built field. During the import process, you can create Custom Attributes for columns of your data that do not correspond to an existing attribute in Community Builder. You can also edit the value of existing single/multi-select Custom Attributes during Import. 

To create a Custom Attribute during Import, follow these steps:

  1. During the mapping step of importing a file, click Create Custom Attribute from under Create New in the Destination dropdown. 
  2. Enter your Attribute Name.
  3. Select a Data Type. The available data types are:
    • Text
    • Number
    • Score
    • Datetime 
    • Single Select
    • Multi-Select 
    • Tag
  4. Repeat these steps (enter an Attribute Name and select a Data Type) for each custom attribute you would like to create. 
  5. When you are done creating custom attributes click Inspect to review the mapping success, then Confirm & Import.
  6. When the import is complete you will be able to view the newly created Custom Attribute(s) from individual profiles and within My Universe > Custom Attributes. You can also use the attribute(s) to create new segments and lists in the Community Builder.
