Customizable Unlimited AttributeExtension Fields

Attribute Extension fields are customizable fields for existing tables which allow you to:

• Add any number of additional attributeExtension fields to the tables. Remember that non-analyzer tables have a fixed pre-defined set of fields.

• Avoid the size limit of text fields which is normally set for text fields (because of storage and speed effeciency).

The attributeExtension fields are available in the following objects:

• Quote

• Promotion / Contract

• Rebate Agreement

• Rebate Record

• Rebate Record Group

• Sales Compensation Plan

• Price Records

• Lookup Tables / Company Parameters of Type JSON

• Custom Forms

• Actions

Work with attributeExtension Fields

Create/Add attributeExtension Fields

While on the page of the table (e.g. Quote list page), use the column menu and select Customize Attribute Extensions to add a new field.

Once added, use the column menu Rename and Customize and set the Name, Label and Type as you would do for any other attribute# field.

Access/Read attributeExtension Fields

The name of the field will be created from your provided field name and will prepend the word attributeExtension___, for example the field name will be attributeExtension___MyLongProductDescription.

So when referring to your field in:

• Filter

• api.find()

• api.stream()

• etc.

use the long name, e.g. attributeExtension___MyLongProductDescription.

Update Value of attributeExtension Fields

In general, you can update the value of the attributeExtension field in the same way as for attribute# fields, for example:

• In logics which can modify objects (e.g. Calculation Flow, Calculated Field Set, etc.) you can use standard data modification functions, like api.update().

• To modify the Quote/Contract/Rebate Header object within the Quote/Contract/Rebate header logics, you can use a function on the processor object, e.g. quoteProcessor.updateField("attributeExtension___myFieldName", 12345).
