Attributes Tab of the Class of Service Dialog

This dialog defines the attributes generated by the class of service (CoS) and their behavior.

Add. When creating a CoS definition, begin by clicking this button to select one or more attributes. When you click OK in the Add Attribute dialog, the selected attributes will appear in the table.

Remove. Click this button to delete an attribute from the list and from this CoS definition.

The table lists the generated attributes and gives the following information:

  • Attribute Name. Name of the attributes currently generated on the target entries.

  • Class of Service Behavior. Each cell in this column is a drop-down list with a choice of the following behaviors:

    • Does not override target entry attribute. The CoS attribute will never replace an existing value for this attribute.

    • Overrides target entry attribute. The CoS attribute will always appears with a generated value, even if it replaces an existing value.

    • Overrides target entry attribute and is operational. The attribute value generated by the CoS will always replace an existing value, but it may not appear in searches because it is labeled as an operation attribute.

  • Checkbox for merge-schemes. Select this checkbox to allow this CoS attribute to merge with other CoS values for the same attribute. However, a CoS attribute will never merge with an existing value, it will either replace it or not be generated as defined by the previous column.
