Aircraft attributes
The aircraft attribute page is available to administrators only.
Aircraft attributes are snippets of data that can be added to an aircraft. These attributes may vary organization to organization in terms of what information is desired to be tracked. Examples include:
- Software version updates
- Jet names
- Configuration
- Displays / Boresights
Data groups
Data groups are simply a table which contains the fields for aircraft attributes.
Creating a data group
Click the blue Add new data group to create one. The Group name is a required field which is the title of the attribute group.
Group names must be unique.

There are a few data types that are available:
