# Order Attributes

Order attributes let you create a range of custom attributes you can apply to Orders, Invoices, Locations, Networks, and more. For example, you could create a custom attribute that would allow customers to select gift wrapping at checkout.

To navigate to the **Attributes** page, click **Configurations** in the left menu and then select **Attributes**.

You can search for an attribute, use filter conditions to tailor your search, and sort the results in ascending or descending order.

## Attributes Table Field Descriptions

The Attributes table displays a list of all previously created **Attributes**.

| **Section**   | The section within **Orders** that the attribute field will be used in. The options are **Location**, **Order**, **Shipment**, **Invoice**, **Allocation**, or **Inventory**. |
| **Data type** | The data type associated with the attribute. For example, String, Boolean, Double, or Enum.                                                                                   |
