Add Address Attribute

An Address Attribute is a single field which represents a complete address which can be maintained by case workers at runtime; Address Attributes can be dragged as User Interface Clusters, where they expand into a complete set of address fields such as 'Address Line 1', 'Country', etc.

Clicking on the 'Add Address Attribute' button in the Model Palette creates a new Address Attribute for the Dynamic Evidence Type Version, displays it in the Model Canvas, selects it, and opens the Properties Panel for Address Attributes. This panel contains the following properties:

Table 1. Address Attribute Properties
Property name Description
Attribute Name This property sets the Model name for the selected Address Attribute. The value of this property is treated as the internal identifier for the Address Attribute across the entire Dynamic Evidence Type Version meta data, and as such must be unique across all Attributes in the Dynamic Evidence Type Version. The Attribute Name is never used in the generation of screens for Case Evidence pages, and so the case worker will never see its value.
Attribute Names must follow a specific naming format:
  • They must start with a lowercase English alphabetic character
  • They can only contain lowercase or uppercase English alphabetic characters, numeric characters and underscores.
  • They must not contain any reserved words such 'relatedEmployment' or 'comments' as these are reserved identifier in the Dynamic Evidence Editor.
Volatile This property setting indicates whether values for this Address Attribute can logically change over time, and is currently solely used in CER Ruleset processing; this property has no effect on the runtime Case Evidence screens.

For example, a 'Vehicle' Evidence Type may have two attributes - vehiclePurchasePrice and vehicleFairMarketValue. In this example, vehiclePurchasePrice is non-volatile (it has a value at Case Evidence record creation time, and this value cannot ever change), whereas vehicleFairMarketValue is volatile (the fair market value will likely decrease over time).

If set to True, the Volatile Property will cause this Attribute to be generated as a Time line Attribute in generated Dynamic Evidence Data Rule Sets, allowing its value to change across succession sets. If set to False, the Attribute will be generated as a non-time line Attribute which can have a single value over time.

The Volatile property cannot be changed between Dynamic Evidence Type Versions for a Dynamic Evidence Type; once this property is set in a Dynamic Evidence Type Version and that Version is activated, it must continue to have the same value for all subsequent Dynamic Evidence Type Versions.

Mandatory This property setting indicates if the selected Attribute should be considered Mandatory in Case Evidence create and modify pages. If set, the caseworker must specify enter information into the Address Field during creation or modification of Case Evidence records in respect of this Dynamic Evidence Type Version. Note that all Mandatory Attribute must appear in the User Interface!
Note: In Cúram 6.0, Mandatory Address Attributes will not be displayed with an asterisk next to them at runtime in the case worker Case Evidence maintenance pages
Description This property configures a non-localizable Model description value for the selected Attribute. This is for annotative purposes only, and is never displayed to the case worker at runtime.
