Local Attributes
What are Local Attributes?
Local attributes are a set of attributes that can be used to store and retrieve information that is relevant to the business logic required to run the loyalty program.
For example, for the airline use case we refer to earlier in this documentation, the local attributes would be as follows:
| Attribute Name | API/file_key | Date type | Is Mandatory | Default Values (If any) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flight destination | flight_destination | String | True | - |
| Passenger age | passenger_age | Int | False | - |
| Flight time | flight_time | Float | True | - |
| Ticket class | ticket_class | Selection | True | - Business class - Passenger Class |
