Setting user attributes

User attributes are user-specific placeholder values used for web forwards. User attributes can be filled/changed in the options menu. When a web forward is launched the first time, the user is requested to fill in the user attributes. To fill in or change a user attribute, click Settings in the Option menu, and click on Personal Information to see a list of the user attributes for your user. User attributes are used for single-sign on when different credentials are required.
