Override Attributes
- Adam Davis
Maintenance
Attribute values can be maintained in Apliqo FPM using the Attribute Override tab. This feature is particularly useful when the dimension definition is not managed within Apliqo FPM but is instead sourced from external systems, such as data warehouses or ERP systems.
In the Attribute Override tab:
select the Hierarchy,
select the Subset to be used in the grid
Select the Attribute that you want to change.
To update the current list of attributes click on the Get Attributes button.
Make the change to the attribute value in the Override Value column. Attribute values are overridden on an exception basis. If an attribute value is not manually overwritten the initial value will be retained. Entering an Override Value of “<blank>” will override the attribute value with a null value.
To apply the changes click on the Update Attributes button.
Automation
Activate (Y) the "Launch Attribute Framework updates" option in the Framework Update settings. This will ensure that overwritten attribute values will be applied after the dimension has been updated.
