Managing the attributes for a Geo-Object Type in a group

Registry Administrators can manage the attributes of groups under the curation mandate of their organization

Attributes you add to a group apply to every Geo-Object Type in the group. To add an attribute to just one Geo-Object Type in the group, edit that Geo-Object Type instead.

1. Navigate to the Geo-Objects and Hierarchies page from the sidebar.

2. Click the three-dot menu next to the group and select Edit.

   
3. In the Attributes section, click + Add.

   
4. The Add a new attribute form opens. Select the data type and fill out the form:

   Field	Description	Required
   Data Type	The type of values the attribute holds: Text, Localized Text (a value for each installed locale), Integer, Decimal, Date or Boolean. The data type is enforced for every value stored in the attribute. Example: The number of beds in a health facility should be an Integer, so values are stored as whole numbers.	Required
   Code	The unique identifier of the attribute. It can't contain spaces and can't be changed later. Example: NUMBER_OF_BEDS	Required
   Label	The display label, with one field per installed locale. The default locale is required.	Required
   Description (Abstract)	A description, with one field per installed locale.
   Length (Decimal only)	The total number of digits in the number. The default is 32.	Required
   Decimal (Decimal only)	The number of digits to the right of the decimal point. The default is 8.	Required

   
5. Click Submit. The attribute is saved right away.

6. To add another attribute, repeat steps 3 to 5.
