Attribute Groups

Attribute groups in TIBCO MDM group together attributes that are similar or share security constraints.

You can use Attribute groups to:

  • Display records in an automatically generated tabbed UI.
  • Define security and data visibility settings.
  • Assign data custodians for governance and route work items.
  • Assign rejection comments for a group instead of individual attributes.

You can apply rules to attribute groups to manage and organize attributes and to perform the following actions:

  • Hide entire attributes-based users, roles, or actions (for example, create and edit)
  • Group together attributes that have similar behavior. For example, you can group together read-only attributes, or attributes that are hidden for certain users.
  • Create a data entry wizard by hiding attribute groups until certain conditions are met. For example, you can hide subsequent attribute groups until the first attribute group has been populated.
  • Hide attribute groups from specified users. Such rules must also be reflected in any validation rules. Otherwise, the rule may fail validation because a user cannot populate a field they cannot see.
