Date |
Date values (MM/dd/YYYY). Salesforce Industries converts your selected date value and appends 12 p.m. (midnight) to it. This gives you a time value. Salesforce Industries then converts this time value from the local time zone to GMT and stores the GMT time value as the value of the Date attribute. Salesforce Industries returns the GMT time value in its APIs. The UI should convert the value to the correct Date value. |

- Product Attributes in EPC
Product attributes define product characteristics and can be categorized. You can use attributes to filter products. Pricing is based on product attributes. - Profile Attributes
Attributes describe objects. Vlocity supports two types of attributes: profile attributes and product attributes. Profile attributes are like tags that provide more information about the entity in the profile. For example, you might have different customer tiers, or you want to note customer interests for future sales opportunities. - Build Reports for Vlocity Attributes
You can create and display reports on Vlocity Attributes. For example, to see what concerns are trending for your customers, you can display a chart of all attributes under the Noted Concerns category. - Common Attribute Assignment Fields for Reporting
These fields are located in the Attribute Assignment: Info and Attribute: General folders.
