Attribute Name

A unique identifier for the attribute. The following special characters are not allowed while specifying the attribute name: space, ^, @, ~, `, !, ‘, “, ;, #, \, $, %, &, ), (, ?, >, <, ], [, :, *, +, =, - , and comma (,)

The maximum length is 30 characters.

Ensure that the attribute name does not start with a numeric character. For example, you cannot have an attribute name such as "1firstName".

You cannot edit this field after you save the attribute.

Ensure that the attribute name does not match with the reserved word in all the supported databases (MS SQL, POSTGRES, and ORACLE)

Data Type

Use the list to assign the attribute type. For attribute fields having String data type, special characters are allowed except single quote (‘) in the data source. POM rejects the record if there are special characters in an attribute having data type other than String and Character. If double quotes is a part of data, you must use (") as an escape character, and if the character is used as a field separator as a part of the data, you must enclose it in double quotes. For example: Avaya, Tower "XI", Pune, India must be written as "Avaya, Tower ""XI"", Pune, India".

Private

Use selection box to make the attribute private. This is an optional field.

For example, if an HR organization creates a salary attribute, this attribute is private to the HR organization, by default.

If a global user creates a salary attribute, the global user can set this attribute as private. If you set the attribute to private, no organization can use this attribute. The global user can then associate the salary attribute with one or more than one organizations, and only the associated organizations can use the attribute. If the attribute is not private, all organization users can use it. The global user can get access to all attributes, regardless of the privacy setting.

Read Only for Agents

Use this selection box to mark an attribute as read only for agents. For example, if you configure an attribute as read-only, the agent can only see the attribute value but cannot change its value from the agent desktop. The agents cannot change the value of the attributes which are marked as Read Only for agents from the agent desktop.

This is an optional field.

Masked for Agents

If you enable this option, the agents cannot see the attribute value on the desktop. For example, you can use this option to mask the salary details attribute. This is an optional field.

Masked for Users

If you enable this option, the users cannot see the attribute value. This is an optional field.

Add Attribute

Use to delete a row used to add an attribute.

Save
