What are Attributes?
Unlike categories (one per conversation), attributes are additional fields that can capture multiple dimensions:| Attribute | Options |
|---|---|
| Priority | High, Medium, Low |
| Product Area | Dashboard, API, Mobile App |
| Customer Tier | Enterprise, Pro, Free |
| Sentiment | Positive, Neutral, Negative |
| Issue Type | Bug, Question, Request, Complaint |

- Use descriptions — Help the AI extract accurately
- Review extraction — Check that attributes are being applied correctly
- Don’t over-attribute — 3-5 attributes is usually sufficient
