Defining Dynamic Profile attributes

Customer Data Platforms enable you to define the data schema that best represents your brands customer data. You can then make that schema available to MXO.

The Structure configuration setting in the data adapter is designed to provide MXO with information about the schema and its attributes. You define the schema using simple YAML syntax.

Example Data Schema

name: profile
displayName: Profile Fields
description: the custom attributes from the profile
properties:
  - name: LTV    
    displayName: Lifetime Value    
    description: the customers calculated lifetime value to the brand
    type: SYMBOLIC

To define your structure

Start with the heading, as shown in the example above, that defines the profile attribute structure.

name: profile
displayName: Profile Fields
description: the custom attributes from the profile
properties:

The properties setting is the collection (array) of properties you want to include in the profile attributes made available to MXO.

For each property, add an indented (2 spaces) list starting with a dash ( - ).

properties:
  - name: LTV    
    displayName: Lifetime Value    
    description: the customers calculated lifetime value to the brand
    type: SYMBOLIC

Provide the following settings for each property:
