About Dynamic User Profile Attributes

Dynamic attributes are created at run time and are not based on any business component fields. They are session specific.

Dynamic attributes are set and modified by actions the user takes while navigating the system, and are never written to the database. They allow real-time modification of the user experience. They are related to the state of the user, as determined when he or she entered the application.

NOTE:  Do not name a dynamic profile attribute Id, as this system field generates a run time error.
