== Strategies for leveraging Attributes ==
*Use Custom Filters in combination the [[SetAttributeTool|Set Attribute Tool]] (a [[Third-party_Addons|3rd-party add-on]]) to migrate data to Attributes. (Example: search Event descriptions for 'influenza', 'grippe', 'pneumonia'. Set an 'epidemic' attribute to 'possible')
*[[Types_Cleanup_Tool|Types Cleanup Tool]] (a [[Third-party_Addons|3rd-party add-on]]) Attributes are organized with [[Gramps_Glossary#custom|Custom Types]]. Periodically consolidate Attributes labeled with synonymous (or misspelled) Custom Types.
*Customize reports to include leverage [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_2#Attributes|Attributes]]. Learn to use [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_2#Rules_for_groups|Rules for groups]] to avoid the notorious "underscored blank" placeholder for when an Attribute is absent.
