Profile Attribute Schema

Purpose: Describes a Profile Attribute schema.

Description

Describes a Profile Attribute. Each attribute field of the profile corresponds to a recorded schema which details the attribute name, type, and content. In 8.0.1 release, the configuration of a new attribute schema is performed in the Configuration Manager. Select in "Tenant" the item specific configuration, and under "Business Attributes" 'Contact Attributes'. Then, create a new Business Attribute Value. By default the new Attribute is of type string. To assign another type to the schema, in Annex, create a section "settings", and a key "type" with value "string" or "date".

Predefined Attributes Schema

Default Attributes visible in the Configuration Server are the following:

• First Name (string)
• Last Name (string)
• Phone Number (string)
• E-mail Address (string)
• Title (string)

Default 'internal' Attributes (not visible in the Configuration Server) are the following:

• LastCalledAgent_EmployeeID (string)
• LastCalledAgent_TimeStamp (date)
• PreferredAgent_EmployeeID (string)

Additional attributes are available for each active media defined in the Business Attribute "Media Type" of the Configuration Manager:

• LCA_EmplID_<media> (string)
• LCA_TimeStamp_<media> (date)
• Pref_EmplID_<media> (string)

Attributes of type date/time are formatted in UTC ISO 8601: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"
Example: "1981-03-17T02:00:00.000Z"
