# Configuring custom SCIM attribute options

After choosing a custom System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) attribute on the **Custom SCIM Attribute** tab, you can use the **Custom SCIM Attribute Options** tab to configure the attribute.

## About this task

On this tab you can change the attribute name, set the attribute as a simple multivalued attribute, add sub-attributes to make it a complex attribute, and add sub-attributes and set the attribute as a complex multivalued attribute.

## Steps

1. Go to the **Custom SCIM Attribute Options** tab.

   ### Choose from:

   * To change the name of the custom attribute, replace the current value in the **Name** field, and then click **Done**.

   * To define the custom attribute as a simple multivalued attribute, select the **Is Multi-valued** checkbox, and then click **Done**.

   * To define the custom attribute as a complex attribute, enter a sub-attribute, and then click **Add**. Repeat this step to add more sub-attributes as needed, and then click **Done**.

     |   | Click **Edit**, **Update**, or **Cancel** to make or undo a change to the name of a sub-attribute. Click **Delete** or **Undelete** to remove a sub-attribute or cancel the deletion. |
