Attributes Page

Use the Attributes page of the Group Service editor to configure GRP node attributes. The GRP node attribute identifiers shown below appear in various places in the node property sheets accessed from both the GRP service and the Group Manager utility. They are unique to the GRP; do not confuse these with facility and device attributes.
