Defining User Attribute Types

Use the Define User Attribute Types page to create and maintain the types of user attributes to be used in branding theme assignments. Each user attribute type is mapped to a supporting PeopleCode application class definition.

PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Branding, and then System Data, and then Define User Attribute Types

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Define User Attribute Types page.
