Characteristic types

Characteristic types organize and identify data that is stored in the entity database. Examples of default Characteristic types that are already configured in the entity database are date of birth and gender.

If you have data that is not defined by one of the default characteristic types, you must create a new characteristic type for that data.

Example

Second National Banker's Trust has recently added a new kind of data about their types of customers. The data comes to the acquisition node using these UMF tags:
<attribute>
	<attr_type>cust_type</attr_type>
	<attr_value>merchant</attr_value>
</attribute>
In this instance, you need to set up a new characteristic type called cust_type.
