Example of standard attribute:
City names stored in the standard attribute in a form of options using stringEnum datatype
- Derived Attribute
Derived attributes allow you to define attributes for your Chakra Object based on automatic calculations. Following are the supported types: - Formula Based
- Query Based
- Chakra Script Based
Example of a derived attribute
Suppose we want to calculate the lead score depending on some standard attributes through some a script. Then we will create a derived attribute with type as script and add the required script for the lead score calculation.
¶ Create Attribute
We can create a standard attribute by following the below steps:
- Go to Admin --> Procedures
- Select the procedure in which you want to create an attribute
- Go to Attribute section from the left side nav
- Hover 'Add New'
- Under Add Attribute select 'Standard Attribute' if you want to create a basic datatype field and if you want to create a script or formula field select 'Derived Attribute' option
- In 'Standard Attribute' add the Name of the attribute, use toggle Required if you want that field to be mandatory , select the 'Attribute Type' which is a datatype of the atttribute and click 'Create'
- In 'Derived Attribute' add the Name of the derived attribute,use toggle Required if you want that field to be mandatory, shortId, Type of derived attribute ie script or formula or rules and in the last the Attribute Type of the derived attribute value
¶ View and Edit Attribute
Editing the attribute may include adding a option in any string enum attribute or changing the name of the attribute or changing the script or formula of the derived attribute. The shortId of the attribute cannot be changed via self serve:
- Go to Admin --> Procedures or click Procedures
- Select the procedure in which you want to the attribute to be edited
- Go to Attribute section from the left side nav
- The list of attributes will be visible and you can search the attribute name from search bar also
