Attributes are tags that attach to individual student records.  They are used for reporting, populating cohorts or audience segments, and to filter lists. Attributes are created by a ConexED admin in the admin panel. Attributes exist and function independently of of Cohorts created in the system.

Frequently colleges create and use attributes to identify student athletes, international students, campus housing residents, First Generation College students, and program of study.  These are just a few examples; the attributes you create will support the unique needs and goals for your campus.  

How to Attach an Attribute to an Individual Student Record

First, navigate to the Student Details page using the Student Lookup feature.  Next, scroll down to find the Attribute section.

Highlight the attribute you want to add, click the Update Attributes button, and the Attribute will be successfully saved to the student record.
