## Order Attributes

Order attributes let you create a range of custom attributes you can apply to Orders, Invoices, Locations, Networks, and more. For example, you could create a custom attribute that would allow customers to select gift wrapping at checkout. To navigate to the **Attributes** page, click **Configurations** in the left menu and then select **Attributes**. You can search for an attribute, use filter conditions to tailor your search, and sort the results in ascending or descending order.

## Attributes Table Field Descriptions

The Attributes table displays a list of all previously created **Attributes**.

| Field         | Description                                                                                       |
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Name**      | The attribute name assigned when creating the attribute.                                         |
| **Section**   | The section within **Orders** that the attribute field will be used in. The options are **Location**, **Order**, **Shipment**, **Invoice**, **Allocation**, or **Inventory**. |
| **Data type** | The data type associated with the attribute. For example, String, Boolean, Double, or Enum.     |
| **Mandatory** | Determines if the attribute is mandatory. Mandatory attributes must be provided when making API calls to the **Section** its assigned to. The value can be **Yes** or **No**. |
