GAT Flow <\/a>addresses the lack of criteria for categorization <\/span>by allowing the Google Workspace<\/a> Admins to create their own custom attributes for their users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many companies and schools may have certain criteria for categorizing employees, managers, teachers, and students.<\/p>\n

Google Admin Console has many options to allow an admin to input user data so that it can be manipulated in certain ways.<\/p>\n

However, Google Admin Console data fields are set in stone, and many of these categories fall short of what is required when an Admin wants to enter a specific characteristic that might only be relevant to their organization.<\/p>\n

Below, we explain how to solve this problem using GAT Flow.<\/p>\n
