Brief Overview

Dynamic text attributes allow you to create dynamic content and rules.

Once saved, they can be used in rules (for comparison of text / numbers / dates) and as dynamic text in items.

Use Cases

• Create Logic Rules to compare on screen elements to each other or calculate dates based on the user's date on the screen
• Personalize content by adding dynamic text relevant to the user

How It Works

1. Open the editor settings menu and select Dynamic text attributes
   
2. Click + Add new to add your desired attribute
   

Add attributes from the Rule Engine

• When using the Logic Rule rule type, builders can also create new and manage existing attributes directly from the Rule Engine

Logic Rules

• When using On Screen Element, Selected Element, jQuery and Workday (Page, SubPage, Worklet, Inbox Item) rule types, builders can use attributes to compare text

Technical Notes

• There is no limit on the number of user attributes that may be set up
• Quick preview might not work at times due to the database update failure
  • If this happens, try again later - WalkMe has a mechanism that synchronizes the data and the system settings every 6 hours
• For attributes that are based on On-Screen-Element or jQuery:
  • The value of the attribute will be "taken" from the screen only in the moment an item is using it
  • For example, if using a Logic Rule in a split with attributes based on OSE/jQuery the element has to be present on the screen when the Logic Rule is being evaluated
