Note: You can select multiple attribute options.

Step 6: Attribute Settings

Step 6.1: Click Settings.

The Attribute Settings window opens. The options you selected previously will already be selected here. If you want to make any changes, proceed to the following steps

Step 6.2: Click the Data Type Conversion drop-down menu.

• Select the appropriate conversion type from the available options:

  • No Conversion: Indicates that there is no conversion required for the data type.

  • Convert to Boolean: Converts the input data to Boolean.

  • Convert to Number: Converts the input data to a number.

  • Convert to Array: Converts the input data to Array.

  • Convert to Object Spread: Converts the JSON attributes under a parent level attribute to the root level attributes.

Step 6.3: Under the Redaction section:

• Two checkboxes are available:

  • Ignore Redaction: Prevents this attribute from being redacted, even if redaction is enabled.

  • Exclude from Request Body: Omits this attribute from the data sent in the request body.

Check the box if you want to apply either of these options.

Step 8: To add a new parameter from the Customer Information Parameters, for example, the subscription Id, perform the following steps:

a. In the JSON section, click Add Attribute.

b. Add the exact field name under User Data and configure it with a data element that returns a subscription Id.

Step 9: To modify the settings, click the Settings icon on the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 10: Enter the Attribute Settings and click Confirm to save the changes.
