Attribute Data Types

Data Type Description

The type of an attribute is determined by Data Center - Metadata Management - Attribute Management - Attribute Data Type. The Operation Growth platform supports five data types:

Chinese Name	Attribute Data Type	Storage Type	Data Requirement	Display Example
Numeric	NUMBER	Number	Pure number, including decimals	12 or 12.0
Boolean	BOOL	Integer	Only 0 and 1 are supported 0 is treated as false; 1 is treated as true	true false
String	STRING	String	/	"orange"
List	LIST	String array	Array	"Tesla","Volkswagen","Audi"
Datetime	DATETIME	Long integer	13-digit numeric timestamp	"2015-06-19 17:51:21" "2015-06-19"

When reporting data later, if the reported type does not match the type displayed in metadata, the system attempts type conversion. If conversion is impossible or fails, the data cannot be used after reporting. The attempted type conversions are as follows:

Type Conversion Rules

Configured Data Type	Actually Reported Numeric	Actually Reported Boolean (true, false)	Actually Reported String	Actually Reported List	Actually Reported Datetime (timestamp)
Numeric	Stores the original value and uses it as numeric	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	If the original value contains non-numeric characters, the system stores it but cannot convert it for use If the original value is pure numeric, it is used as numeric	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	Stores the original value and uses it as numeric
Boolean	If 0 is reported, converted to false If 1 is reported, converted to true If another value is reported, the system stores it but cannot convert it for use	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	If 0 is reported, converted to false If 1 is reported, converted to true If another value is reported, the system stores it but cannot convert it for use	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use
String	Stores the original value and uses it as string	Stores the original value and uses it as string	Stores the original value and uses it as string	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	Stores the original value and uses it as string
List	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	Stores the original value and uses it as list	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use
Datetime (timestamp)	Stores the original value and uses it as datetime	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	If the original value contains non-numeric characters, the system stores it but cannot convert it for use If the original value is pure numeric, it is used as datetime	The system stores it but cannot convert it for use	Stores the original value and uses it as datetime
