# Adding value processors to an attribute

Define value processors to transform the value returned by an attribute or an attribute resolver.

## Before you begin

[Add an attribute](p1_az_adding_attributes.html) and configure the attribute's general settings.

## Steps

1. To add a value processor, do one of the following.

   ### Choose from:

   * **At the attribute level**: Click the **Value Processors** section and click **[icon: plus, set=fa]Add Value Processor**.

     ![Screen capture showing the Processor Name, Processor type, expression, and Value Type fields and the +Add Value Processor button.](_images/p1az-adding-value-processor.png)

   * **At the resolver level**: In the **Resolvers** section, click the hamburger menu next to the **Resolver Name** field and select **Add Processing**.

2. (Optional) Update the **Processor Name** field.

3. Select a **Processor** type and enter an expression for the value processor.

   You can find more information about value processor types and expressions in [Processors](p1az_processors.html). The **Label** (![ncd1678229333989](_images/ncd1678229333989.png)) icon indicates that you can [reference attributes](p1_az_interpolating_attributes.html) in the expression.

4. In the **Value type** list, select a [data type](p1_az_value_settings.html) for the transformed value returned after the expression is applied.
