Types of profile and request attributes

Profile and request attributes can be defined according to the following types:

String

A short alpha-numeric value

Integer

An all-numeric value

Boolean

A true or false value.

Memo

A multi-line alpha-numeric value

Password

A value hidden from view. Bravura Security Fabric obscures user input with asterisk (*) or other characters.

This type of profile and request attribute can be mapped to character or numerical account attributes only.

Date/time

Users select a date/time in one of the three following formats:

  • year/month/day (YYYY/MM/DD)

  • year/month/day hour:minute (YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm)

  • year month day (YYYY <month> DD), where <month> is spelled out

Native date attributes are converted to ISO date format to map to Date/time type attributes. If the target system does not support conversion of native format to ISO format, you can use the attribute validation plugin to mirror the attribute to a hidden attribute that can be mapped. See Plugins.

Note: Attributes of type ”Date/time” cannot accept values predating 1970.
