# Attributes | Sentry for Ember

Available since: `v10.61.0`

**Attributes** are key-value pairs you can attach to your telemetry (like spans, logs and metrics). Unlike [tags](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/ember/enriching-events/tags.md), which only accept `string` values, attributes support `string`, `number` and `boolean` values.

Common uses include subscription tier, feature flags, or any business context that helps you filter and query your telemetry. Check out [Sending Span Metrics](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/ember/tracing/span-metrics.md) for an example of how to use attributes to enrich your spans.

Setting attributes will bind them to the [isolation scope](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/ember/enriching-events/scopes.md#isolation-scope). This ensures they'll automatically be included on future telemetry for the current request or page view:

```javascript
Sentry.setAttribute("is_admin", true);

Sentry.setAttributes({
  "user.num_orders": user.numOrders,
  "subscription.tier": "pro",
});
```

To attach attributes to a broader or narrower context, you can set them on a specific scope instead. Use the global scope for attributes that should appear on all telemetry across the entire application, and `withScope` for a single operation only:

```javascript
// Applied to everything across the entire application
Sentry.getGlobalScope().setAttributes({
  "app.version": "1.2.3",
});

// Applied to a single operation only
Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
  scope.setAttribute("checkout.step", "payment");
  Sentry.logger.info("Processing payment");
});
```
