Edit the Configuration of Custom or Filtered Context Tables

To configure the attributes of an existing custom or filtered context table:

  1. In the Context Management Overview tab, locate a custom or filtered context table that you want to configure. Custom context tables are displayed with the following icon: icon-custom.png. Filtered context tables display with the following icon: icon-filtered.png.

  2. Click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific custom context table and select Edit. A Configuration panel opens on the right.

  3. In this panel, you can do any of the following:

    • In the Definition step, change the Context Table Name.

      Note

      Changing context table names is currently prohibited in order to avoid breaking functionality in downstream applications.

    • In the Attributes step, click Add Additional Attributes to open the Add Columns/Attributes dialog box. To edit attributes in the custom context table, do one of the following:

      • Select an existing attribute – In the Available Attributes panel on the left, locate an attribute that already exists in the system. Click the plus icon (icon-add-attribute.png) on the attribute, or click and drag, to add it to the Columns panel on the right.

        The available attributes are arranged in two categories:

        • Commonly Used – Attributes that are most frequently used. This category is listed first for convenience.

        • Others – Attributes that are either less frequently used or are custom attributes that already exist in your environment.

        You can click the drop down arrow on many of the available attributes to view both a short description of the attribute and an example value. You can also use the Search field if necessary to find a specific attribute.

      • Add a new attribute – In the Columns panel on the right, click Add Custom Attribute. Enter a new column name and click the plus icon (icon-add-attribute.png), or click and drag, to add the new column to the list.

      • Remove an attribute from the custom table – Click the minus icon (icon-minus.png) next to the attribute, or click and drag, to remove it from the Columns panel.

      • Change the order of column in the custom table – Click and drag attributes to change their order in the Columns panel.

      • Change the key attribute – Click the key icon (icon-key.png) next to a different attribute in the Columns panel to designate it as the key attribute for the custom table.

      • Save attribute changes – Click Apply to save any changes.

    • If the table you are configuring is a filtered table, you can also edit the filter conditions defined in the Conditions step. You can remove existing conditions or define new conditions to filter the data from the source context tables.

  4. Click Update to save any changes.
