                Create a <literal>theme.properties</literal> file in this directory that extends the main admin console
                theme.

                Copy the file <literal>themes/base/admin/resources/partials/user-attributes.html</literal> into the
                a mirror directory in your theme: <literal>themes/mytheme/admin/resources/partials/user-attributes.html</literal>.
                What you are doing here is overriding the user attribute entry page in the admin console and putting in
                what attributes you want.  This file already contains an example of entering address data.  You can remove
                this if you want and replace it with something else.  Also, if you want to edit this file directly instead
                of creating a new theme, you can.

            <listitem>
                In the <literal>user-attributes.html</literal> file add your custom user attribute entry form item.  For example
<programlisting><![CDATA[    <div class="form-group clearfix block">
        <label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="mobile">Mobile</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <input ng-model="user.attributes.mobile" class="form-control" type="text" name="mobile" id="mobile" />
        </div>
        <span tooltip-placement="right" tooltip="Mobile number." class="fa fa-info-circle"></span>
    </div>
]]></programlisting>
                The <literal>ng-model</literal> names the user attribute you will store in the database and must have the
                form of <literal>user.attributes.ATTR_NAME</literal>.
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                Change the theme for the admin console.  Save it, then refresh your browser, and you should

   </div>
</div>
]]></programlisting>
                Make sure the input field id ane name match the user attribute you want to store in the database.
                This must have the
                form of <literal>user.attributes.ATTR_NAME</literal>.  You might also want to replace the label text
                with a message property.  This will help later if you want to internationalize your pages.
