About Intelligent Attributes

You can create and manage custom views, intelligent attributes, and bucket attributes directly within the Unity Data Platform using the Intelligent Attributes Composer. It guides you through a clear, step-by-step workflow, from defining attribute metadata to configuring calculation logic on an interactive visual canvas.

Using governed data sources, aggregations, and functions you can build sophisticated attributes without needing technical expertise. The Data Workbench landing page then brings everything into one place, providing a single view of all attributes and surfacing essential metadata such as status, master entity alignment, lookback windows, and modification history to strengthen governance and operational transparency.
