Finally, this last tab lets administrators organise and name the attributes to be presented to the users who will make ad-hoc views and reports based on domains. This is an important step that should be done carefully, since it is about giving meaningful names and labels to each attribute. {{Note|The names of the attributes of the staging area might not always be meaningful, end-user names. For example, ''sourcereliabilityenum'' is the name of an attribute - display it as ''Source reliability'' will be much clearer for an end-user.}}
On the '''Display''' page, the left-hand pane contains all selected tables and derived tables, each with all their attributes. In order to build up an organisation and select useful attributes, the below steps can be followed:
<ol>
<li>
Think about how the attributes should be grouped together, in a folder-like manner. In a MINT domain, a ''folder'' is called a ''set''. For example, in the example followed through this page, attributes from accidents and from devices causing the accidents are exposed. One possibility would thus be to group the core accident attributes in a folder, and organise the device-related attributes in a sub-set.
Use the '''Add Set''' button to add a new set. If an existing set is highlighted, then the new set will be created as a sub-set.

<li>From the available attributes in the left-hand pane, select those that should be exposed to the user, and assign them to the set they logically belong to. While the tables can contain a lot of attributes, only a few might be really used and have values. It is thus recommended to only display those attributes that make sense to analyse in a specific context. Use the '''Add to sets''' and '''Add to selected set''' buttons to assign attributes to a set.

<li>Finally, each attribute can be renamed by editing its properties.

{{Note|It is recommended to change the '''Label''' only and keep the original attribute name as the '''ID'''.</li>
