Creating custom attributes for Roadmap items

You can create custom attributes with color-coded values that you can then assign to items for grouping. For example, you could create an attribute called Priority with values and colors of High (red), Medium (yellow) and Low (green). 

Custom attributes are made active and are available to users by default when you first create them. However, you can make them inactive if you have not finished adding all of the values or the attribute is no longer required.

When you group roadmap items by a custom attribute, the attribute values are displayed in the roadmap in the order that they are listed in the Add attribute dialog, but you can move them as required. 

1. Click  > Configuration. The Roadmap configuration dialog appears.
2. Click the Item attributes tab. 
3. Click Add attribute.
4. Enter a name for the attribute.
5. To add attribute values:
   1. Click  Add attribute value.
   2. Enter a name and select a color for the value.
6. To make the attribute inactive, turn off the Active option.
7. When you are finished adding values, click Update.
8. To move an attribute value up or down in the list, point to  and drag the value to the desired position.
9. To save the attribute and its values, click Save.
10. You can add the custom attribute to items in the Details pane of an item.
