1.2.5.1.3 Attribute

Attributes are fields that are present on all cases and alerts. They contain data which does not directly reflect the data submitted to the matching process, although it may be derived from it.Attribute values can be set as part of the processing carried out by the reception rules. Reception rules may also examine attribute values as part of their conditional processing.

Attribute values may also be changed as a result of a transition, or when a state expires.
