Fields in add attribute details page
The description of all the fields and their details, seen in the Add attribute details page, are as follows:
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Display name | Specify the label to identify the attribute for users. For example, "Interest Rate". Double quotes in attribute display names are not supported. |
Internal name |
Specify a name to identify this attribute when you write a query or custom macro. Use the same name as the Attribute display name, but without any spaces (for example, "InterestRate"). The internal name must be globally unique, must start with an alphabetic character, cannot include spaces, and are not case-sensitive. |
Description | A description of the attribute. |
Form element type | Specify the type of data to be stored in the attribute field for
offers. Important: After you add the custom
attribute, you cannot change its data type. |
Form element type Text field - String |
Specify a maximum string length to indicate the maximum number of
bytes to store for any value of this attribute. For example, if you
enter 32, single-byte languages such as
English store 32 characters but double-byte
languages store only 16 characters. Important: Decreasing the length of an existing attribute
truncates existing values, which, if the field is used for
matching purposes, can adversely affect response
tracking. |
Form element type Text field - Numeric |
Specify the number of decimal places to display to the right of
the decimal point. Note: If you decrease the value for an existing
attribute, the display is truncated in the user interface.
However, the original value is retained in the
database. |
Form element type Text field - Date |
|
Form element type Text field - Currency |
Specify the number of decimal places. Important: The
currency value reflects the number of decimal places that are
customarily used in the local currency. If you specify a number
for decimal places that is less than the number commonly used,
the currency value is truncated. |

You can use the Integer attribute type to fill numeric data without decimal places. |
Form element type Check box - Boolean |
You can use the Boolean attribute type to select or deselect a
checkbox (for example true or false) for the
attribute. Note: Currently the systems leveraging Centralized Offer Management treats the
Boolean attribute as numeric with possible values of
0 or 1. Here,
0 means FALSE
and 1 means TRUE.
So, if you are parameterizing the Boolean attribute, or
exporting the attribute, it will be represented as
0 or
1. |
