Add Attributes to a Child Spec

Most child specs include at least one attribute. When you add attributes to a child spec, you also configure them with controls and values.

1. On the Attributes tab, click New.
2. Choose the attribute category your attribute is in.
3. Choose the attribute.
4. (Optional) Edit the Attribute Name. This description isn't picked up by the services, added to any JSONs, or shown to users.
5. (Optional) Change the Name if you want it to display differently in the UI for this child spec.

   As a best practice, use a unique, descriptive Name value for each power attribute, especially if multiple power attributes can apply to the same Claim, Claim Coverage, or Policy. For example, use names like “Collision Deductible” and “Comprehensive Deductible” instead of something generic like “Deductible.” The more descriptive names improve usability for users reviewing a claim with both deductibles, and they help ensure accurate information in the Policy Terms Standing panel.

6. Configure the attribute.

   Field	Description
   Is Hidden	Select this option to hide this attribute from users. Hidden attributes aren't shown to customers at all but may be included in rating.
   Is Configurable	Leave this cleared to define this attribute with a blank value or a preset value that users can't change. See Add a Fixed Value to an Attribute on a Child Spec. Select this option to give users the flexibility to enter or select a value for this attribute. See Add a Configurable Value to an Attribute on a Child Spec.
   Rating	Select this option to have Vlocity use this attribute's value to rate the product this child spec is attached to. Follow the instructions in Mapping Ratings to Product Specs to map your rating information correctly.
   Tax and Fee Rating Attribute	Select this option to use this attribute's value to rate a tax or fee for either this child spec or for the root product this child spec is attached to.
   Required	Select this option to make the attribute required for the claim involved injury and claim damaged property specs. This configuration on the claim product model is enforced at runtime when claim item records are displayed on the participant card claim item page. To use this field, make sure you have the latest Insurance Product Model Cards DataPack. In the Vlocity Installation Assistant, within the Install Vlocity Cards DataPacks (Vlocity Installation and Upgrade) steps, complete the Install Insurance Product Model Cards DataPack (Vlocity Installation and Upgrade) step. Note This field is available only for ClaimPropertySpec and ClaimInjurySpec product record types.
