 With AppRegistry, you create attribute groups to store AWS application metadata. 

**To create an attribute group**

1.  Open the AWS Service Catalog console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/) 

1.  From the navigation pane, choose **AppRegistry**, and then choose **Attribute groups**. You're directed to the **Attribute groups** screen. 

1.  On **Attribute groups**, choose **Create attribute group**. 

1.  Under **Create attribute group**, enter a name and description for your attribute group, and provide the JSON schema that captures your metadata taxonomy. 

1.  (Optional) Under **Attribute group share configuration**, choose **Turn on cross-account sharing** to share the attribute groups's visibility with your organizational structure. For more information, see [Sharing resources with accounts in your organization](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/sharing-definitions.html). 

1.  (Optional) Under **Assign attribute group to an application**, select one or more applications to associate to the attribute group. For more information, see [Managing applications](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/create-app.html). 

1.  (Optional) Under **Add tags**, create tags using key/value pairs to assign metadata to the attribute group. For more information, see [Managing tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/add-tags.html).
