Local Attributes

What are Local Attributes?

Local attributes are a set of attributes that can be used to store and retrieve information that is relevant to the business logic required to run the loyalty program.

For example, for the airline use case we refer to earlier in this documentation, the local attributes would be as follows:

Attribute Name	API/file_key	Date type	Is Mandatory	Default Values (If any)
Flight destination	flight_destination	String	True
Passenger age	passenger_age	Int	False
Flight time	flight_time	Float	True
Ticket class	ticket_class	Selection	True	Business class - Passenger Class

Accessing Local Attributes

Step 1: Navigate to Rule Engine > Manage Attributes (using the settings icon at the top).

Step 2: Scroll down to the Local Attributes.

Adding a Local Attribute

Step 1: To add local attributes, go to Rule Engine ➝ Manage Attributes ➝ local attributes➝ Add new local attributes.

A local attribute which is getting used in a rule, cannot be deleted.

Selection data type attribute?

The selection data type attribute is a string attribute internally. The values can be added at the time of creating or editing the selection attribute.

Multiple values can be added by using comma-separated values.
