# How to create a user attribute
#### Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Login to Questera**
* Head over to the **Questera** and log in with your credentials to see the dashboard
2. **Navigate to ‘Track & Measurements’**
* In the left-hand Nav bar, find **Track & Measurements.**
* Click to expand it.\
3. **Select ‘User Attributes’**
* Under Track & Measurements, click on **User Attributes.**
* This will take you to the main User Attributes page, where you’ll see any existing attributes listed.
4. **Click on ‘Add New User Attribute’**
* Look for the **"Add User Attribute"** button, usually at the top right side of the page.
* Click it to start creating a new attribute.\
5. **Choose Your Attribute Type**
* A pop-up window will appear asking whether you want to create a user attribute based on an event (like a user action) or an independent attribute (a static trait that doesn’t rely on any event).
* Select the option that fits your needs.\
6. **Fill Out the User Attribute Details**
* You’ll now see the Create User Attribute page. Here’s what to fill in:
* **User Attribute Title:** Give your attribute a meaningful name (e.g., Loyalty Tier, Preferred Language, or Onboarding Status).
* **Attribute ID:** This is a unique identifier for your attribute, used internally (e.g., loyalty\_tier or preferred\_language).
* **User Attribute Description:** Add a short description explaining the purpose of this attribute (e.g., "Tracks the user's loyalty status based on purchases").
* **Data Details:**
* **Data Type:** Choose the format for this attribute, such as:
* String (text)
* Number
* Boolean (true/false)
* Date
* List/Array
* **Default Value:** Set a default value for this attribute, which applies if no data is available (e.g., "Basic" for Loyalty Tier, or "English" for Language).\
7. **Save and Publish**
* Once you’ve filled out all the details, click **Save and Publish** to finalize your User Attribute.
* Your attribute will now be available for use across campaigns, conditions, and user segments.
8. **Manage Your User Attributes**
* Back on the main User Attributes page, you’ll see your newly created attribute listed along with others.
* If you ever need to remove an attribute, just click on it and select Delete option.
