This section is for identifying and understanding how to use the custom fields, Actions/Buttons and other functionality added to the Contact Attributes object in the Donor 360 package. Contact Attributes is a way to tag Contacts to track specific items, such as mailings, boards & committees, Professional Advisors, or even staff members.

Some of these fields are Picklist and need to have values assigned and others are fields available for users to populate.

Make sure these fields are included on the Contact Attributes Page Layout and Lightning Page.
