Add attribute usage in Advanced Product Designer

Advanced Product Designer attribute usage configuration sets default field behavior so product designers control data entry consistency. Advanced Product Designer conditional exceptions add rule-based usage changes for specific scenarios.

About this task

Note: Field usage is a product model property.

Procedure

  1. In Advanced Product Designer, navigate to the Attributes tab in a product.
  2. On an attribute, select ... > View Properties.
  3. Select a value from the Default Usage drop-down menu.
  4. Select Rule to add a rule.
  5. In Conditional Exceptions, click Add Condition to add a conditional exception.
  6. In the Rule popup, define the rule conditions in the IF field.
    Depending upon the attribute type, the operator can be:
    = Equal to
    != Not equal to
    < Less than
    > Greater than
    <= Less than or equal to
    >= Greater than or equal to
    has a value Checks to see if the field != null.
    has no value Checks to see if the field = null.

    For example, in Field select Policy.Base Jurisdiction, click Select and choose = as the operator, and set the matching value to California.

    To check if a field is not null and not equal to zero, create a condition of the form Building.Area has a value and Building.Area != 0. Choose Add Condition to join multiple conditions with and.
