Create a Date Attribute

Use the Date attribute type if you want to identify users by specific dates (for example, hire date, birth date, or certification date). Values for this attribute are automatically populated based on data entered within user profiles (via the Create New User page, the Edit User page, or the Import User page).

You can use the date attribute operators when you create an audience to group users together by days after a hire date or days prior to an anniversary or departure date for example.

1. From the left navigation bar, select Users > User Attributes. The User Attributes page displays.
2. On the User Attributes page, click New Attribute. The Create User Attribute page displays.
3. Enter a Name for the attribute.
   • This is a required field and must be unique within an organization.
   • The field limit is 255 characters.
4. Select Date.
5. If you are using self registration and want this attribute to display in a user's browser language, select the language and specify the Display Label for that language. If you do not specify a Display label in a user's language, self registration displays the attribute in English.
6. Click Create. The attribute saves.
