Overview of Attributes
Product Attributes are information that you want to collect for any product used on a drawing. These are separate from the automatically collected "Quantity" attribute or any defined pricing information.
There are 2 types of custom attributes
Predefined - The attribute value is already defined and is collected automatically without any user interaction. An example of this type might be static info like a model number for a piece of equipment.
The attribute value needs to be collected on-site. In this case, users can answer one too many pre-created questions to gather the information. Examples are endless here, but some could be; wattage for light fixtures, size for many things, configurations, etc.
These attributes can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet and used the post-site visits to present a more comprehensive view of the client site.

Tap on Add Attribute at bottom of the dialog
