Customer Attributes | BG_057
Customer Attributes are additional pieces of information that can be assigned to customers, should that information not be available elsewhere.
For example, you may require information on a Customer's job title. If this isn't available elsewhere in the customer inputs, then a Customer Attribute could be created named "Job Title".
A unique value could then be defined for each customer related to this Customer Attribute.
