*To create custom attributes
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B > Document Types Administration > Document Attributes.
2. In the Document Attributes Search Result panel, do one of the following:
*To create a custom attribute by providing new information, click Add.
*To create a custom attribute by copying an existing attribute and modifying it, click the copy icon in the row for the attribute to copy.
3. Give the attribute a unique name and, optionally, a description, and specify the attribute’s data type. Then click OK.
