# Attributes

Attributes are the values attached to entities (VOs and VPs) that Conditions check and actions change. This page describes the Attributes panel. For the attributes every entity gets automatically, see [Default Attributes](/hyperskill-studio-authoring/state-machine-reference/scenario-flow/attributes/default-attributes.md).

1. **Attribute Deletion Button:** deletes the attribute. It is disabled on default values that are generated automatically for all VOs and VPs. In that case the button is gray and shows the text "\*This is a default Value".
2. **Attribute Creation Button:** creates a new blank attribute.
3. **Attribute Name:** the identifier of the attribute. Each attribute must be assigned to an entity; the default is the entity of the space. We recommend a unique identifier for every attribute on each entity, but the system does not require it.
4. **Entity Name:** the name of the entity the attribute is found under. Defaults to the entity of the space.
5. **Type Identifier:** the type of the attribute: Integer, Float, Boolean, String, or SMEntity. SMEntity is not currently fully supported and is coming in a future version.
6. **Type Value:** the value of the attribute at the start of the simulation. The value is automatically forced to conform to the type specified by the Type Identifier.
