Attribute Groups

Overview

Objects in the Empower database can have an unlimited number of attributes/parameters. Attributes can represent any type of characteristic required to define an item in the database. Attributes can be defined as text, numeric, or date/time data types. You can define attribute fields for:

• Items/Parts/BOMs
• BOM child items
• Changes/ECOs
• Quality/CAPA Items
