An Attribute is a set of key-value pairs made up of strings, numerics, and booleans that help you get the most out of Sprig. Specifically Attributes provide more context about the user in order to gain a better understanding of who they are when they come to your application. Listed below are examples of attributes as a set of key-value pairs. Sprig supports categorical, discrete, continuous, and ordinal attributes. There is no limit to the number of discrete values for any given key. Attributes cannot be deleted unless the entirety of the data for a given visitor is also deleted. This means that you must be careful when considering an update to the key-value pairs of a given Attribute. As an alternative to deleting, you may consider creating a new Attribute instead of trying to update the original Attribute.

​
Purpose of Attributes

Attributes can be used to refine the target users and also filter the response data.

Sprig supports the following methods to import Attributes.

​
Viewing

To view the Attributes being sent to Sprig, click Attributes in the Navigation Pane. The Name of the attribute is shown in the first column. This label may be generated by the attribute source; it is known as the Key. You can override the Key with a more descriptive Display Name. To change from a Key to a Display Name label:
  1. Click the Attribute in question.
  2. Click Configure.
  3. Uncheck Use Key as display name.
  4. Type in the Display Name.
  5. Optionally, update the Description field.
  6. Click Save Changes.
You can filter which Attributes from which Sources to display and whether to display Active or Archived Attributes. To filter Sources, click “All Sources” and check or uncheck the sources that you want to display. To filter the attribute operational state, toggle between Active Attributes and Archived Attributes.

​
Inspecting and Diagnosing

  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Attributes.
  2. To learn more about how often the attribute is updating, in the Usage column, hold the pointer over the diagnostics icon in Usage.
  3. If the diagnostics icon is grey, your attribute has not updated from your source in the last week.
  4. If the diagnostics icon green, your attribute has been updated within the last week.
Attributes uploaded from a CSV file will not update the Usage column.

​
Archiving and Unarchiving

Archiving an attribute stops the Attribute from updating or being tracked by Sprig.
  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Attributes
  2. Make sure the filter is Active Attributes.
  3. Click the check box next to the Attribute and click Archive.
Similarly, you can Unarchive an archived attribute to start tracking an attribute again.
  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Attributes
  2. Make sure the filter is Archived Attributes.
  3. Click the check box next to the Attribute and click Unarchive.

​
Manually Uploading Attributes

  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Attributes
  2. Click Upload CSV. More details on the file format and steps can be found here.
