# Edit purpose

**Access Type**: Data Manager - Editor

A purpose describes the reason your organization is collecting the end-user's data and how your organization processes that data. In this article, we will cover the editable fields for a purpose in each of the three purpose groups within the data manager. 

Click **Data Manager** in the left-hand panel and ensure the **Purposes** tab is selected on the subsequent page.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="IAB purpose" %}
The only attribute that is editable for an IAB purpose is the **Regulation settings**. By default, Didomi will always include **GDPR** within the regulations for an IAB purpose but your organization can further extend the IAB purpose so that it is included in other regulations.&#x20;

Expand the **Regulation settings** accordion and use the **Regulations** drop-down menu to select any regulations you wish to include for the IAB purpose.&#x20;

{% tab title="Global purpose" %}
The only attribute that is editable for a global purpose is the **Regulation settings**. By default, Didomi maps global purposes to regulations that explicitly have signals for the purpose but your organization can further extend the purpose so that it included in other regulations.

Expand the **Regulation settings** accordion and use the **Regulations** drop-down menu to select any regulations you wish to include for the global purpose.&#x20;

{% tab title="Custom purpose" %}
Use the provided fields to edit the following attributes for the custom purpose:

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Attribute</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Regulation settings</td><td>Indicates the regulatory frameworks to which the purpose applies. Once the purpose is mapped to a vendor, the purpose will populate in the consent notice for each regulation so the end-user can grant or deny consent for the vendor's data processing.</td></tr><tr><td>Sensitive Personal Information (SPI)</td><td>Indicates whether purpose collects information that is deemed Sensitive Personal Information (SPI)</td></tr><tr><td>Advanced Setting</td><td>Enables your organization to configure a Custom SDK ID for the custom purpose which is a configurable ID used solely for migrating existing consent notices from JSON configurations. Once configured, Didomi will force set the SDK ID of the purpose to an ID in your JSON configuration</td></tr><tr><td>Translation(s)</td><td>Language(s) into which the custom purpose name and description are translated. <a href="/pages/8dkVYJ4LyKFgEgZqRG64#custom-purpose-translations">Click here</a> for more information</td></tr></tbody></table>
