Managing Attributes

To manage an attribute, in the Knowledge Builder go to the Edit menu and select Attributes.

You can search for attributes within the Attribute Editor using the search bar at the top of the window. This search is not case-sensitive and filter all attributes that contain the text you have entered.

To move the attributes to a new position in the list click on the attribute and drag it to the preferred location. Multiple attributes can be moved by using CTRL-Click or SHIFT-Click.

Other case view properties of existing attributes can be customised. Right click on the attribute and select Attribute Display. The Attribute properties window will open:

Function	Description
Name	Enter the name to be displayed in Case View. Do not use spaces. Words can be separated by an underscore.
Description	Enter a description if required for the Attribute.
Attribute display	Select one of the options
	in header	To position the attribute and current value in the Case Header
	highlighted	To add a highlight colour to the row containing the attribute. The colour can be customised in the Attribute Editor \| Options \| Highlight colour
	always visible	The attribute is always shown
	normal	The attribute and corresponding value at each episode are shown unless the sample value is empty. This the default.
	hidden	The attribute and sample values are not shown but may be used in creating rules
Format	Default	The attribute will not show in the body of a case if all of the samples for the attribute for that case are ‘uninteresting’. For a primary attribute, a calculated value, delta, a double list or a merged attribute, ‘uninteresting’ means blank. For ranges, lists, text attributes and episode attributes, ‘uninteresting’ means having the value ‘false’.
	No formatting	The attribute value will appear as presented by the Online Information System.
	1,2,3 or 4 significant figures	Attribute sample can be formatted to either 1,2,3,4 significant figures. This affects the display. Calculations using the attribute value will be performed on the data as it received from the Online Information System.
