Editing a custom parameter.
Parameter Name
Internal name that is displayed in feedback data and reports.
Parameter Type
Data type of the parameter to collect, for example text, number, boolean, date, or time. For a date use a UTC timestamp in milliseconds passed in a variable as a string.
Type
What type of origin this custom parameter should search for. In Digital the only option is Var, and this drop down is inactive.
Attach Forms
Choose the surveys this custom parameter should be added to. The drop down contains a list of all surveys created in the property. Choose to either:
  • Select All Forms to attach this custom parameter to all surveys in the property.
  • Select All App Ratings to attach this custom parameter to all app ratings in the property.
  • Select All Forms & App Ratings to attach this custom parameter to all forms and all app ratings in the property.
  • Individually select the surveys that the custom parameter is attached to. Depending on the number of surveys in the property, you might need to scroll through the list or use the search box to find the survey by name. Click on a survey name to select it. Click on a selected survey to unselect it.
The custom parameter is attached to all of the surveys selected in the drop down when you click Apply.

During execution, Digital attempts to access the origin specified to extract the data and send it to the server with the feedback. If the origin is not on the app when feedback is submitted, a null value is stored.
