User & Attributes
Managing User Data
The NetmeraUser
class allows you to send structured information about your application's users to Netmera. The ideal time to update user attributes is right after the user logs into your application.
User ID Management
For optimal performance and data integrity:
Update user information at login: It’s crucial to update the user information as soon as the user logs in.
Unique userId: Ensure that each user has a unique
userId
. Assigning the sameuserId
to multiple users leads to data inconsistencies and is not recommended.

Creating Custom Profile Attributes
Step 1: Navigate to the Developers section

Define the following information:
Name: The unique identifier for the attribute.
Label: A user-friendly name for the attribute.
Description: A brief description of the attribute.
Data Type: Choose the appropriate data type for the attribute.
Is Array: Define whether the attribute can hold multiple values.
Step 3: Save the Attribute
After clicking Save, the custom attribute will be available for assignment to your users.
Step 4: Generated Code for Custom Attributes
Once the attribute is defined in the Netmera Panel, the generated code can be found at the bottom of the Profile Attribute page, under the Generate Code section. This code must be added to your Netmera Panel under Profile Attributes > User Class.
