# Attributes

All entity types currently support the addition and visualization of **Attributes**. For more information, see [[user-guide-entity-types#manage-entity-type-attributes]].

When creating a new entity, you can set attributes and custom properties defined for the specific entity, as seen in the example below:

You can also do this once the entity is created and within the entity's Details view. The **Attributes** tab enables you to set and edit attributes and custom native properties defined for the specific entity type.

Within the same tab, you can then visualize these attributes.
