Attribute bulk settings: registration, editing, and deletion

What are Attribute Settings?

Attribute settings allow you to register attributes such as job title, age, and years of service according to the user's role and characteristics. By registering these attributes, you can view survey results not only by department but also by attributes such as job title or joining period. 
（Reference: Differences between Organization Settings and Attribute Settings）

Additionally, by using Custom Tabulation Settings, you can analyze survey results in more detail, such as the results for "Department × Joining Period."
