what is attribute and how can we use that?

Hi Kesava,

Please elaborate your question.

Do you want to know about variable attributes?

Thanks and regards

[chennakesava]

both dictionary attributes and variable attributes

[amaradiswamy]

Dictionary attributes alter the behavior of the table or element that the dictionary record describes.

Attributes will add some other functionality to fields.

for example, if you want to show user_name in the caller field in incident table, then you need to turn on autocomplete for user_name column.

you can convert list collector type variable to glide list by just adding glide_list as a variable attribute

by using attributes column you can include UI macros like show related incidents in incident module.
