Attributes

Absolutely! We've got a few of those.

Basically, you would set it up in T_KEYWORD like any regular old attribute except don't fill out anything for the columns that start with Ref. So nothing in Ref Tbl, Ref Idcol, Ref Desccol, Ref Where, or Ref Sort.

For example, we created one to track Disability type with a free text field and in T_KEYWORD this is how it looks:

Description: Disability
Data Type: String
Edit Mask: Alphanumeric
Detail Tbl: TX_CUST_KEYWORD
Detail Col: !.key_value
Ref Tbl: (blank)
Ref Idcol: (blank)
Ref Desccol: (blank)
Ref Where: (blank)
Ref Sort: (blank)
Category: Constituent
Use For List: Attributes
Multiple Value: unchecked
etc... with pretty  much everything else blank.

There's also great info about that table if you find the help documentation for your Tess version on T_KEYWORD.

Hope that helps!
