Hi Nayeem,
thanks for the feedback, and this is an interesting question.
A decent workaround if you need to collect the same attribute for two different programs is simply to define the exact same attribute for those programs.
We have been considering for a while to associate attributes with tracked entities. The benefit of this is added flexibility. The downside is added complexity and potential confusion, e.g. if you have defined attributes for both the tracked entity and the program - then which ones win? Anyway, if enough people request this we might do it 
regards,
Lars

Dear Abyot
It will good if we can register entities with common profile which are not associated with any program for same entities. But different profile for different tracked entity type.
I want to give you one use case and another case where we are interested-
- We have maternal health program and TB program sometimes one person have to enrolled in both of the programs.
- Also we want to use tracker capture for CRVS, which need to register all personnel but not associated with any program.
And we are in a customization phase for equipment tracker.

Yes, if you want the attributes differentiated based on the entities you listed then you always have to select a program when trying to register a tracked entity instance.
You will not be able to differentiate if no program is selected. To manage this, what you can do is select only those that you think are common - for example ID - as “attributes in no program”.
Thank you,
Abyot.

Dear Abyot
Thanks for your quick feedback.
There are entities whom have totally different attribute.
Example:
- Person
- First Name
- Last Name
- ID
- Mobile no. etc.
- Equipment
- Type
- Model
- ID
- Buying date
- Installed date etc.

Hi Nayeem,
You should be able to control which attributes to see when no program is selected by going to Attribute → Manage attributes with no program
Thank you,
Abyot.

Dear All
I have found one issue on tracker capture module to register tracked entity.
I need separate attributes for different entities. Like one is ‘Person’ and another one is ‘Equipment’. But I found same in data entry screen when I don’t select any program.
Is there any suggestion?
