Creating a File Attributes Template

Project Administrators can create and configure File Attribute templates for their projects that will be available to all Project Members to attach to their files during or after upload.

To configure an Attributes template for your project, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to your Project Landing Page and click on the Settings icon in the Left Sidebar
2. Select the File Attributes tab
3. Click Create New Attribute Template
4. Enter a name for your Template and click Next Step
5. Click Add Attribute
6. Enter an Attribute Name – note that only letters and numbers are permitted.
7. Select a Type from the dropdown list, current options include:
   1. Multiple Choice attributes can have a maximum of 10 choices
   2. Text attributes will have a maximum of 100 characters
8. Toggle Optional off if you want the field to be required for the user to fill out any time the attributes are added. Once a File Attributes template has been created, any additional attributes added to the template must be Optional.
9. Click OK to save the Attribute. Repeat steps 6-9 until all of the required Attributes have been added to the file.
