Attribute template
An attribute template is a user defined group of one or more attributes and values for an object type. Templates provide a quick and consistent way to assign multiple attribute values to Strategic Ledger. You can modify the attribute values provided by the template once the template was applied to the user analysis value. The template does not override any previously defined attribute values, but it will add values if none exist. This procedure will detail how to define a template.
Example
Moose Wood Outfitters wants to track product profitability by characteristics such as location of store and product quality. They have already defined these two attributes.
| Attribute | Values |
|---|---|
| REGION | North South West East |
| QUALITY | High Medium Low |
To assign specific region and quality values, you can manually add the appropriate values to each user analysis. But, assuming that you have a large group of high quality products being sold in the western region, you can save time by defining an attribute template that lets you add these values automatically.
Define an attribute template WESTHIGH for user analyses that contain these attributes and values:
| REGION | West |
| QUALITY | High |
