In Apsiva, attributes are entities that define properties of items, or categories. Attributes usually consist of a name (or key) and value. For example, in computer graphics, line objects can have different kinds of attributes such as thickness (with real values), color (with descriptive values such as brown or green or values defined in a certain color model, such as RGB), dashing attributes, etc.

If the object is In an item record, the "SKU Number" is an attribute. Similarly an Item can have various other attributes such as item description, unit of measure, list price etc.
