Most customer attributes are self-explanatory, but here are a couple that might confuse you:

Organization

Customers may (optionally) belong to organizationsskip ahead to learn more.

Secondary Organizations

Unlike organizations, you can add several organizations here that are not as highlighted. Still, the same behavior applies.

VIP

Like ticket priority, VIP status doesn’t actually do anything out-of-the-box, but an admin can set up automated system hooks based on this value, or use it as a filter for custom overviews.

Ask your administrator about how she’d like you to use this attribute (or just leave it alone).
