# Attribute

Attributes are reusable data fields used to capture additional information for inventory items, classifications, assets, and item templates within Enterprise Asset Management.

Attributes help organizations define flexible and configurable metadata based on operational, business, or industry-specific requirements.

For example, attributes can be used to store details such as:

* Capacity
* Voltage
* Temperature Range
* Weight
* Pressure Rating
* Warranty Period

{% hint style="info" %}
Configured attributes can later be referenced inside classifications and item definitions across inventory modules.
{% endhint %}

## **What you see on the screen**

The Attributes page allows users to create, manage, search, filter, update, and delete reusable inventory attributes used across classifications, item templates, and inventory definitions within Enterprise Asset Management.

The page displays all configured attributes along with details such as attribute name, abbreviation, data type, unit of measurement, and mapped organization/site information.
