Custom Member Attributes
Article Contents
Custom Member Attributes allow organizations to create tailored attributes for segmenting and organizing assessment participants. These attributes help in providing a more granular view of the assessment results, enabling administrators to group participants in ways that are relevant to their organization. For example, attributes can be created based on role, location, or tenure within the company, allowing for a customized analysis of assessment results.
Out-of-the-box, there are 12 predefined roles that cannot be modified, but custom roles and attributes can be added to better suit the needs of your assessments. Custom Member Attributes enhance flexibility and allow administrators to adjust the participant view to match the specific structure and needs of their organization, improving insights and decision-making.
