Attributes Manager Tab

The Attributes Manager tab displays the following fields and buttons:

• The Attributes pane lists all attributes known to Service Alert. Note that the table row colors correspond to whether a attribute is active (white) or inactive (bluish gray). For convenience, the rows in the table can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking on any column header.
