Attribute bulk settings: registration, editing, and deletion
What Are Attribute Settings?
Attribute Settings allow you to register characteristics such as job title, age, and years of service that match each user’s role or profile. Registering attributes enables you to review and manage survey results and activity statuses not only by department but also by other criteria like job title or date of joining. The information configured here is reflected in Motivation Cloud Engagement and Sharing. These settings are not required for Motivation Cloud Development.
