Managing Attributes

Edit and archive Attributes and view your upload history.

To view a list of your Attributes, go to Audience, then Attributes. The page opens to Attribute List. The default sort order is by last created, and each row displays:

  • Name
  • Type
  • ID
  • Created and modified dates in UTC
  • Status — Active or Archived

Your total number of Custom and Predefined Attributes is displayed next to Create Attribute. All Attributes are displayed by default, and you can filter for Default and Custom Attributes. The Custom filter includes Predefined Attributes. You can search by Attribute name or ID.

Attribute management options:

Data collected prior to archiving is made available again after unarchiving. Archived Predefined Attributes do not appear in search when adding Attributes to your project.Select the archive icon ().
