Screen-Defined Logical Attributes

Screen-defined logical attributes are fields on a Profile tab that are defined locally for the current task. You can use these screen-defined logical attributes to manipulate objects in a task screen or modify physical attributes that are stored in the user store.

Screen-defined logical attributes are defined, initialized, validated, populated, and implemented using JavaScript.

For example, a user profile has the following attributes--First Name, Last Name, Company, Email ID, and Organization. The Email ID should have the format First Name.Last Name@Company. You can create a screen-defined logical attribute called |Email ID| that uses JavaScript to calculate the Email ID using the values of the other fields in the task. You can use JavaScript to also update the physical attribute Email ID that is stored in the user store.

Note: Attributes enclosed within '|' are identified as screen-defined logical attributes.

You can use screen-defined logical attributes in User Console fields such as:

The screen-defined logical attributes are useful when you are creating generic tasks that are not bound to any primary object. In this case, you create the fields on the Profile tab using only screen defined logical attributes. You cannot specify physical attributes.
