Process the Element Attributes

The Universal Calculation goes through all of the Element attributes, checking to see if the Attribute category belongs to the selected category using the following rules:

  • COLLECT-INPUT STEP: The analysis checks to see if the Attribute has one or more Attribute categories that is included in the list of the INPUT categories specified in configuration. If yes, it creates an INPUT result.

  • RUN STEP: The analysis loops through the INPUT RESULTS that are created in the COLLECT-INPUT step, and then, if the Attribute associated with the result has one or more Attribute categories included in the list of the OUTPUT categories that are specified in the configuration, it tries to copy the result to another Attribute with the following rule:

    ATTRIBUTE_DEST = ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE where ATTRIBUTE_DEST ® Attribute_Source\<Suffix\>

For instance, a user wants to export the attribute ReconciledPerformance (configured with a Formula DR) to another attribute. The User defines the output suffix will be “_export” using in configuration form. The output Attribute must be named ReconciledPerformance_export.

Note: If the output Attribute does not exist or is misspelled, the analysis rule continues printing a warning message. If the source result being exported is BAD, then the copy action is skipped.
