Attributes are used to store extended information per property. Attributes are objects managing additional fields for properties. As every UBIK® object they are configurable according the set of their properties.
It is also possible to derive from the standard attributes in customizing and add additional attributes.
Contents
Configuration
Attributes must be activated by defining the MetaAttribute property for a MetaProperty.
 | The new MetaAttribute Property does replace the NEEDS_VALIDATION property (Version 2.5)! |
UBIK® supports the following types of attributes
- Content Attributes
- Proxy Attributes
Standard properties of Attributes
| Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ValidationTimestamp | Time stamp the property value was validated |
| ValidationUser | Login validating the property value |
| Owner | UBIK® content object the attribute is associated to (the owner of the according property) |
| MetaProperty | MetaProperty of the related property |
Properties for Proxy Attributes
| Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
| InterfaceTimestamp | Time stamp the property value was ex- / imported |
Accessing the data
Attribute data must be accessed via their properties. Therefore, properties provide methods to read and write attribute values:

/// <param name="attributeName">Name of the attribute.</param>
