Follow the instructions in the Create Attribute Wizard to define the new attribute.

4.1.4 Adding an Optional Attribute to a Class
You can add optional attributes to existing classes. This might be necessary if
• Your organization’s informational needs change.

Mandatory attributes can only be defined while creating a class.
To add an optional attribute class:

In Novell iManager, click the
Roles and Tasks
button

Click
Schema

list, select the attributes you want to add, then click to
add these attributes to the

If you add an attribute by mistake or change your mind, select the attribute in the
Add These
Optional Attributes
list, then click to remove it from the list of attributes you want to add.
5
Click
OK
.
Objects you create of this class will now have the properties you added. To set values for the
added properties, use the generic Other property page of the object.
TIP:
You can modify an existing class by using this page to add to the
Current Attributes
list. You
can remove only attributes you have added prior to clicking
OK
. You cannot remove any attribute
that has been previously added and saved.
4.1.5 Deleting an Attribute
