====== Account Attributes ======

This section is for identifying and understanding how to use the custom fields, Actions/Buttons and other functionality added to the Account Attributes object in the Donor 360 package. Account Attributes is a way to tag Accounts to track specific items, such as mailings or boards & committees. It is primarily used for Organization Accounts.
