Entity attributes are used within the Aptify framework as a way of storing values that may be configured or changed by the administrator. For example, the ZipCodes entity includes five attributes by default, which specify how the ZIP Code look-up functionality behaves. Also, see Enabling the FindRequiresFilter Attribute for another example of an entity attribute.

Entity Attributes records may only be created from the Attributes sub-tab of the Configuration tab on an Entities record.
