Creating Member Field, Member Tier, or Transaction Attributes

Member field attributes represent fields in the member record. Member tier attributes represent fields in the Tier record for the member’s tier. Transaction attributes represent fields in the Transaction record.

To create member field, member tier, or transaction attributes

1. Navigate to the Loyalty Program Administration screen.

2. Locate the program that the attribute applies to and click its Program Id hyperlink.

3. Clear the program form’s Active check box.

4. Click the Program Level Attributes view tab.

5. In the link bar of the Program Level Attributes view, click Member Field Attributes, Member Tier Attributes, or Transaction Attributes.

6. Add a record to the Program Level Attributes list, and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Pick Field	Select the field that the attribute represents. To make additional fields available in this field, see About Changing the Fields Used in Loyalty Attributes.
   Merge Action	Specify how the program handles valid attributes when you do a member merge. For more information, see Merging Loyalty Program Members. Note: This field is optional and is not applicable to all fields.

   You can use the Transaction Attributes such as Day and Hour to set up promotions based on day of the week and the time of day. For example, you can set up a promotion to reward a member with bonus points for shopping on Wednesday between 2:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. in a given time zone. If you require additional attributes, then you can add them by extending the Transaction business component using Siebel Tools. For more information, see Using Siebel Tools.

7. When you are finished creating all attributes for the program, select the program form’s Active check box.
