Edit Extended Attributes
Use the Edit Extended Attribute page to create and edit additional application attributes including the display name, attribute type and description.
The fields displayed on the Edit Extended Attribute page are dependent on the attribute type selected.
Important: Extended attributes must use unique attribute names that will not be duplicated in other parts of your IdentityIQ environment. For example, an extended attribute name must not duplicate any attribute names in any of your application schema(s). A best practice is to use a standard prefix or naming convention that ensures that your extended attribute names are unique.
The Edit Extended Attribute page contains the following information
Attribute Name
The name of the attribute as it appears in the application.
Caution: Changing an attribute name might cause attributes that were previously aggregated to no longer be recognized.

The IdentityIQ user assigned name for use throughout IdentityIQ.
Type
