Event Attributes

An event attribute is a parameter that you can associate with a workflow to collect business-related information when the associated workflow processes documents. The

B2B Data Exchange

server saves the information from the workflow to the repository.

You can also use event attributes in an advanced search for some objects in the Operation Console.

You create event attributes in the Operation Console based on the information that you want to collect about the event or the document. When you create a

workflow

B2B Data Exchange

, you select the event attribute to use in the workflow from the list of available event attributes.

You view the event attributes and the values in the

Event Details

section of the

Events

page in the Operation Console. When you perform an advanced search for events, you select from the list of available event attributes to search for an attribute value.

You can use event attributes, for example, to collect the claim number and the claim amount that an insurance company receives from a customer. You include the event attribute value in the workflow that processes the claim. An event attribute that is associated with a workflow is also associated with the profile that uses the workflow.

If you installed the Dashboard and Reports component, you can use event attributes in reports. The

B2B Data Exchange

developer can use the event attributes to customize the Dashboard and create new Dashboard panels. You can use only numeric event attributes in reports. An event attribute is numeric if the lexical syntax rules in the Java Language Specification define it as a FloatValue.
