The attributes' list appears.

Click on Add to add a new attribute.

Create new attributes and define their settings for this reports type.

 

Attribute Display Name

You can search attribute names or add a new one. As you start writing, the matching names appear.

 

Select any attribute name. A few additional fields and settings are available that are specific to the selected attribute name. For example if you select Attribute Listing, it gets added and it shows related fields, as below.

 

By default, the attributes specific information is not editable. 

Click on Edit Attribute to make changes in the selected attribute's details. The fields are enabled now, and you can edit and save the changes.

Click on Cancel to clear the selected attributes. Now you can search the attribute name again.

Click on Add Attribute to add the selected attribute to this reports type. In this case, the attribute is listed in the Attributes section.

Note: If the attribute name already exists in any reports type, the backend shows you a message as Attribute already exists. One attribute name can be used only once in all the reports types combined.
