# Company custom attributes

EARLY ACCESS

**Custom attributes** provide more specific information related to your companies. Using custom attributes, you can assign any information that is not available out-of-the-box in the standard fields.

To access Company custom attributes, go to **[Customer Profiles](https://www.infobip.com/docs/customer-profiles)** → **Configuration** → **Company custom attributes** tab.

## Create company custom attributes

To create a company custom attribute:

1. Select **Create custom attribute**.
2. Enter the attribute **name** and configure its properties.
    > The custom attribute names must be **unique**.
3. Select the attribute **type**. Once the type is selected, it **cannot** be changed. Available data types:
   - Text
   - Decimal number
   - Whole number
   - True/false
   - Date
   - Date time
4. **Save** the custom attribute.

The attribute is now visible on the [company profile details](https://www.infobip.com/docs/customer-profiles/companies/company-profile-details) page and can be used for communication campaigns.

Note
You can add a new custom attribute during import. On the mapping screen, select **Add new field**.
