You can use Business Analytics global attributes or user attributes to fill in block properties for inputs to mashables or mashups. Global Business Analytics attributes are meant to be used by any user. User Business Analytics attributes have values that are specific to you or to the user running your mashup.

Your Business Analytics administrator defines Business Analytics global attributes for values that many or all users might need to use as input for a mashable or mashup. You define user attributes in your Business Analytics profile. For example, Business Analytics attributes can define the username or password to work with a mashable source or a key that is needed to allow Google maps to be used as a view for apps.

To use a Business Analytics attribute in a block property, open the Path Selector list and select the attribute from the Global or User folder.
