An Attribute is a fact that describes an Entity Type. Its values are associated with individual entities of a specific Entity Type. For example, Name and Date of Birth are Attributes of EMPLOYEE. You may create a set of Attributes for each Entity Type.
Attributes do not appear graphically on the ERD, but are available behind the scenes. You can create, edit, and manipulate them while building the diagram.
Throughout Design, Attributes are used in data views, and they are implemented as fields when you build screens, windows, or web pages. They are also implemented as fields in the Data Structure List. For more information, see the online help for the Data Structure List and the Data Store List.
