• Custom Data

Step 7: Under the Attributes section, click Add Attribute at the bottom to add a new attribute. The Name, Value, and Settings information is visible.

Note: You can set the attribute to Mandatory, Ignore If Empty, Fatal, Hash (SHA256).

• Mandatory: This value is mandatory.

• Fatal: This value is mandatory.

• Ignore If Empty: This may be ignored if the value is not set.

• HASH (SHA256): The value is converted to HASH format.
