Entity Attributes

Attributes bring major power to Rock as they can be attached to People or Groups. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. From the Entity Attributes page, you can add attributes to any entity that exists in Rock.

Sometimes you won't want the attribute applied everywhere the entity exists. For instance, you might want a group attribute to apply only to groups of a certain type. You can narrow the scope of the attribute using the Qualifier Field and Qualifier Value fields. Using these fields, the attribute pictured below will only be attached to Connection Request Activity entities within the "Children's" connection opportunity. Rock's Model Map can help you identify what properties you can use as qualifier fields.

Although there's a dedicated page for this, you can also create Global Attributes from the Entity Attributes page. For the most part, you shouldn't need to do this unless you're writing your own code to run inside Rock. To add a Global Attribute, simply create a new entity attribute that isn't tied to any entity.
