Assign attributes to a job

An attribute is an additional user-defined property. Attributes are not used directly in the manufacturing process. They provide extra information about the job to the run time operator or to record more information from the operator during execution of a job. You must create an attribute for a job in the Attributes module before assigning an attribute to a job. For more information on attributes, see Attributes.

Attributes assigned to a job changes to attributes on the jobs created from an operation if there is a corresponding job attribute.
