Attribute values are controlled either on the corporate side of things in Stratum.Server or using Stratum.Viewer’s Master Data Import functionality. Both types can be used in the same way in Viewer. User Controlled Attributes are ones whose values originate from an Excel spreadsheet and become part of Stratum using Stratum.Viewer’s Master Data Import functionality.* Use Stratum.Viewer’s User Controlled Attribute Maintenance functionality to define attributes, maintain attribute properties, create or remove hierarchies based on the attributes, or delete the attributes. In Connector, you can view their properties including seeing any hierarchy created from the attribute.
*Note: User Controlled Attribute Maintenance functionality is only available for implementations running Stratum.Server on a Windows SQL server. It is not available for implementations running Stratum.Server on an IBM i Server.
