# Viewing attribute group metadata


 An attribute group is an open JSON object where you define the metadata for a resource. Metadata is data that describes other data. For more information, see [Attribute groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#attr-groups) on [Overview of AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html). 

**To view attribute group metadata**

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 where you can view all of your attribute groups. 

1.  On **Attribute groups**, choose the name of the attribute groups that you want to view. Or select the attribute group that you want to edit, and then choose **View**. You're directed to the **Attribute group details** screen.
