Custom User Attributes for Company Codes

Hi all,

I am trying to create a custom attribute in the user profile for company codes.

I am trying to incorporate the same in the master head iView, and depending on this selection I should be changing the content in the content area.

I cannot use client-side eventing as my framework is light and needs to be like that to support high speed portal usage.

Hence I have come up with this approach of user profile attributes, but here I have only observed a way to get the attribute values but not set the values in the code. Can anybody please suggest how can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Harika
