Adding Attributes to Attribute Families

For each attribute you want to include in the attribute family, you need to identify the table and field that holds the attribute. Then you should map to a descriptive label or create one in the User Defined Labels list. The Attributes list displays every attribute defined within a table and associated mappings to tables and fields.

NOTE:  For data integrity reasons, you cannot delete attribute members after an attribute family is saved. Instead, create a new attribute family with only those attributes you want to include.

To add attributes to an attribute family

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Marketing Administration > Attributes.
  2. In the Attribute Families list, select the attribute family.
  3. In the Attributes list, create a new record.
  4. Complete the necessary fields, using the table at the end of this procedure as a guide.
  5. Save the record after you define each attribute member.

Repeat this procedure until every member of the attribute family has been defined.
