Managing attributes

Information about editing, archiving, and deleting attributes, and viewing your upload history.

Go to Audience » Attributes » Attribute List.

  • Your last created attribute is listed first.
  • Your total number of custom and predefined attributes is displayed next to Create Attribute.
  • You can filter the list by All, Default, and Custom. Custom includes your predefined attributes.
  • The Status column indicates whether an attribute is Active or Archived.
  • You can search for attributes by name or ID.

Editing attributes

You can edit the names of custom and predefined attributes. You cannot edit an archived attribute — you must first change the status back to Active.

  1. Go to Audience » Attributes » Attribute List.
  2. Click   for an attribute.
  3. Edit the attribute name and click Save.

Archiving/Unarchiving attributes

You can archive custom and predefined attributes.

  • Archiving an attribute removes it from your total count of attributes (maximum 250).
  • Archived predefined attributes will not appear in search when adding attributes to your project.
  • Archiving stops data collection for an attribute. Data collected prior to archiving is made available again when you change the status back to Active.
  1. Go to Audience » Attributes » Attribute List.
  2. Click   for an attribute to toggle its Archived/Active status.

Deleting custom attributes

Contact Airship Support to delete custom attributes.
