Best Practices​

Adding Extra Information to Elements​

When additional information needs to be added to elements, the additional fields feature should be used. Additional fields serve as columns of database tables, which allows your information to be well organized and makes it easier to search through.

Avoid using the additional attributes option to add information on elements. Additional attributes for elements are only used on legacy systems. The additional attributes that are added affect only individual elements, unlike additional fields, which create the fields in all the elements in the collection.

Prefer Additional fields(A) over Additional attributes(B):
