SUMMARY
Custom Attributes and Display Templates are best defined using an
Organization scope. It is best to maintain the same name for each attribute
because the values of the attributes will replicate but the names will not.
As an example, if an administrator from one site configures Custom
Attribute 1 to be Favorite Sport, and an administrator from a second site
configures Custom Attribute 1 to be Shoe Size, the value of this attribute
will not make sense to a user in the first site viewing a user in the
second site. When the user from the first site views a user from the second
site, they could see an attribute labeled Favorite Sport with a value of 7-
1/2.
