Create a quality rule attribute

1. In the top menu bar of the Dataphin home page, choose Planning > Attribute Management.

2. On the Attribute Management page, click View Details on the right of the Quality Rule object type card to open the Object Attributes page.

3. Click Create Attribute. In the Create Quality Rule Attribute dialog box, configure the parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Attribute Name	The name of the quality rule attribute. The name must be unique and cannot exceed 128 characters.
   Is Required	Specifies whether this attribute is required. The default value is Yes. You can set it to No.
   Attribute Field Type	The field type of the attribute. The default value is String/STRING. The field type constrains the values you can enter for the attribute when you create a quality rule. For example, if you select the Boolean type, you can only select True or False. The following types are available: String: STRING. Numeric: BIGINT, DOUBLE (up to 6 decimal places). Boolean: BOOLEAN (The value can be True or False). Date/Time: DATE (yyyy-mm-dd), DATETIME (s).
   Attribute Value Length	If you set Attribute Field Type to String, you can set the maximum length of the attribute value. The maximum length is 2,000 characters.
   Description	A description of the quality rule attribute. The description cannot exceed 512 characters.
   Input Type	Specifies how the attribute value is entered and stored when you create a quality rule. The available input types depend on the selected field type: String: Custom Input, Dropdown Single-select, Dropdown Multi-select. Numeric: Custom Input, Dropdown Single-select, Dropdown Multi-select, Specified Range. Boolean: Dropdown Single-select. Date: Custom Input, Dropdown Single-select, Dropdown Multi-select, Specified Range. The following image shows examples of the attribute card for different input types:
   Is Searchable	If the input type is Custom Input, you can specify whether the attribute is searchable. When enabled, you can perform a fuzzy search for this attribute in the quality rule list. The default value is No. You can set it to Yes.
   Option Values	If the input type is Dropdown Single-select or Dropdown Multi-select, you can configure the option values. Separate multiple enumeration values with commas. The total length cannot exceed 10,000 characters. You can also click Batch Edit. In the Batch Edit Enumeration Options dialog box, enter the enumeration values. Separate multiple values with commas or line breaks. The total length cannot exceed 10,000 characters.
   Is Filterable	If the input type is Dropdown Single-select or Dropdown Multi-select, you can specify whether the attribute is filterable. When enabled, you can filter the quality rule list by this attribute. The default value is No. You can set it to Yes.
   Default Value	The default value of the attribute. When you create a quality rule, this value is automatically populated. This is useful for attributes whose values rarely change. The available options depend on the selected field type and input type.

4. Click OK to create the quality rule attribute.

Manage quality rule attributes

1. The Object Attributes page for quality rules lists configured attributes with details such as name, description, requirement status, field type, input type, and default value.

2. You can perform a fuzzy search by attribute name or filter by Required Attribute.

3. You can sort, enable or disable, edit, clone, and delete attributes.

   Operation	Description
   Sort	Controls the display order of business attributes when you create a quality rule. Drag the icon next to an attribute name to reorder it. You can also use the icons in the Actions column: Move Up, Move Down, Move to Top, and Move to Bottom.
   Enable	When enabled, the attribute appears when you create a quality rule. When disabled, the attribute is hidden from rule details, but its configured content is preserved and restored if you re-enable it. However, if you edit a quality rule while the attribute is disabled, the configured value of the disabled attribute is deleted.
   View	View the details of a configured attribute.
   Edit	Modify the attribute configuration. After modification, verify that existing quality rules using this attribute still comply with the updated specifications. If not, update the rule configurations accordingly.
   Clone	Create a new attribute by cloning an existing one.
   Delete	Deleting an attribute removes its value from all quality rules that use it. This operation cannot be undone. Evaluate the impact before you proceed.

After you create quality rule attributes, you can apply them when you create a quality rule. For more information, see Create quality rules.
