An attribute defines the characteristics of data and how it will be displayed. In an Excel spreadsheet, data is often organised into columns, where the first row is the column header. For example, a spreadsheet of customer data may have column headers Name, Address, Postcode, Phone Number and the rows below contain the data, with each row being a data record. A stream to represent customer data may have the attributes Name, Address, Postcode, Phone Number. However, the attributes do not contain the data. Attributes contain the information about the data. For example, it includes the type of data, for example, whether it is: Attributes usually have a name, a unique identifier, the UID and you can optionally give them a label, which will be displayed in views. You can also set attributes to be hidden, so although they are present in the stream, they are not shown in views. See related terms: streamView Glossary#streamViewattribute
