# Dataflow Instance attributes

**Dataflow instance attributes** can be assigned when the instance of a flow needs to be filled in with extra information. They are created by the Administrator, as explained in the [Configure Dataflow attributes](/data-watcher-1.21/design/add-dataflow-attributes-to-flows.md) section.

Once created, dataflow instance attributes will be listed when opening the instance of a flow and they can be used to add information to the instance. 

To find them, go to **Inquiry** → **3-dot icon** → **New Instance Attribute**.

Once set, these attributes will appear in the **Attributes** column of the **Inquiry** page.&#x20;

They can be deleted by clicking the <mark style="color:red;">**x**</mark> appearing when hovering over the chip.
