Adding and Modifying Custom Attributes

Custom attributes enable you to assign special logic in a specific scenario. They require preconfigured logic and options set up by Eyefinity. For more information, contact Eyefinity Customer Support.

Unless otherwise directed by an Eyefinity representative, do not modify the custom attributes information in AcuityLogic Admin.
