ProHealth Analytics provides the capability to customize and manage user information through the use of User Attributes. These attributes are a powerful feature that allows you to define specific data fields that are automatically integrated into the user profile form without requiring additional configuration. Common user attributes include details such as Date of Birth (DOB), Name, and Surname.


Steps to Create a User Attribute

Follow these steps to create a new user attribute in the PHA platform:


Navigate to the 'Attributes' Section:

From the main dashboard, locate the left-side menu.

Click on Manage Forms to expand the options.

Select Attributes from the list. This action will take you to the attributes management page.



Create the attribute

On the attributes management page, click the Create an attribute button located on the top right.



Choose 'Standard Attribute':

A popup window will appear asking you to choose between a Standard Attribute or a Tagged Attribute. Select Standard Attribute to proceed.



Configure the New Attribute:

In the next form, you'll need to configure the new attribute:

Make it a user profile attribute: Ensure that you select the checkbox labeled "Make it user profile attribute".

Input Type: Choose the appropriate input type (e.g., text, date, dropdown).

Label: Enter a clear label for the attribute (e.g., “Employee ID”).

Code: Assign a unique code for the attribute.

Category and Icon: Optionally, select a category and an icon that best represent this attribute.

Required: Specify whether this attribute is mandatory for user profiles.

Once all fields are filled out, click Submit to create the attribute.



Filter and Confirm the Attribute:

After creating the attribute, use the filter options to sort and view User Profile attributes. This will allow you to confirm that the new attribute has been successfully added.

The newly created user attribute will now be visible in the user profile form, as shown in the image below.
