Attribute Groups

Some of the attributes in the party profile entities are grouped and displayed together, separated by slashes, for example CEO Name / CEO Title. You apply the same display and overwrite rules to the entire group.

Each attribute group has a primary attribute. When the Single Source of Truth record is regenerated after you run the Third Party Data Integration Update program, all nonprimary attributes in each group are populated from the same data source as their primary attribute, even if that source gives the nonprimary attributes a null value. See: Third Party Data Integration Update Program. This functionality applies to both the Rank and Date display methods.

If the highest ranked source has no data for the primary attribute, then the SST record takes the value from the next highest ranked source that does. If none of the data sources has data for the primary attribute, the other attributes in the group are treated like regular individual attributes in the SST record.

Even though the same overwrite rule applies to the entire group, an attribute can be updated without requiring the other attributes in the group to be also updated by the same data source.

Attention: The SIC Code and SIC Type group has additional validations. These attributes must always have values from the same data source, and both must have values or none at all.

The SST record uses the data source that meets both of these requirements:
