Custom attributes help you group, filter, and personalize your Millie experience for your employees. Whether you're organizing by department, office location, function, or any internal segmentation, custom attributes make it easy.
🔧 What are Custom Attributes?
Custom attributes are optional fields you can define—like “Department,” “Region,” or “Start Year.” They appear in the employee record and can be used to:
- Create Groups (e.g., “NY Office” or “Engineering Team”)
- Run targeted campaigns or volunteer events
- Personalize dashboards or activity feeds
- Filter employees for reporting
🛠️ How to Add Custom Attributes
Custom attributes are added during the bulk upload process (CSV) or SCIM sync. You can’t manually add new attribute fields through the UI yet, but our team is happy to set them up for you!
👉 Email us at team@milliegiving.com to define new attribute fields before uploading.
đź“Ą Uploading Custom Attributes via CSV
- Go to Settings > Employees
- Click Add & Update Employees
- Include custom attribute columns (e.g., Department) in your CSV
- During Step 2, map those columns to your defined attributes
- In Step 3, map the values in your CSV to attribute options (e.g., “Sales,” “HR,” “Engineering”)
You'll see each unique value in your CSV and have the opportunity to assign or ignore them.
📝 If a value is unrecognized, you can still choose to import or ignore it—it won't break anything.
