Program Attributes

Here you can configure which program attributes are available in the:

• Home tab for programs in the Configuration Portal
• Home tab for programs in the Program Materials section in the Applicant Portal, and

5. Select if the program attribute is required for users to complete in the Configuration Portal.
6. Select if the program attribute is Read-only, where only association users can edit it in the Configuration Portal; admissions users won't be able to edit it.
7. Select if the program attribute appears on the table where programs are listed under the Add Program tab in the Applicant Portal.
8. Select if the program attribute displays on the Home tab for programs in the Program Materials section in the Applicant Portal.

To delete a program attribute, click the trash icon. To edit an existing program attribute, click the edit icon.
