Creating derived attributes
You can create an attribute that derives its value from other attributes instead of directly from the data source.
About this task
In the derived attribute, you can perform operations on the values of the source attributes. For example, you can perform basic arithmetic operations on numeric attributes or string concatenation on string attributes.
The basic expression syntax that is used for derived expressions contains functions. These functions provide a more complicated manipulation of data that includes short-term aggregation, conversion from string to integer, and accessing configuration properties and environment variables. In addition, an editor helps you visualize the expression as it is being built.
