Data Foundation: Custom Attributes in Groups

This feature is part of the data foundation in Domo's platform. These are the building blocks that support analytics and BI capabilities. The foundation provides the ability to integrate and prepare data from any source in a secure, governable manner. This is the backbone of Domo that allows you to leverage all of your data any way you want without yielding integrity or control.

Data governance and management are crucial aspects of delivering data experiences to an organization, ensuring that relevant data is only accessible to those who need it for their day-to-day work.

Many customers manage access by putting users into groups based on things like title and level. In the past, the list of attributes available to customers was substantial, but limited to things commonly used to identify users.

With Custom Attributes, customers can now populate and manage groups more dynamically using attributes that they define themselves. This can help with attributes that change frequently, such as the department and employee sits in or their manager/place in the organizational structure. By putting the power in the hands of users, Custom Attributes will save time and effort while encouraging robust data governance.
