Create a Session Attribute

Catalog administrators can create custom session attributes to help categorize and organize classroom-based training sessions. If you have read-only access permission for a session attribute, it is included in the Edit Session Properties page in the Catalog Editor, where you can assign a value to it.

When you create a new session attribute you have to save it before you can add any options for drop-down list items and configure its access permissions to enable other users to use it and edit it.

To create a session attribute

Go to Manage Center > Learning > Session Attribute Categories. The Session Attributes page opens, showing existing session attributes.
Click + Create Session Attribute. The Create Session Attribute page opens.
Enter a unique code for the attribute.
Enter a name of the attribute. For multi-language systems you can enter the label key that will be used to look up the localized name in the user's preferred language.
Select the type of data represented by the attribute.
For numeric attributes, select the check box if you want to show the sum of the values when printing or reporting the attribute.
Select the Mandatory check box if course administrators must enter or select a value for the attribute in the Catalog Editor > Edit Session Properties page.
Select the check boxes of the Teach menu areas in the LMS where you want to use the attribute. Select the Teach check box to include the attribute as a column in the list of sessions in Active Sessions and Session Administration. Select the Teach Session Administration Filter check box to include the attribute as a filter in Session Administration.
Click Save. The attribute is added to the list in the Session Attributes page.
