Classes and Attributes

Your data sets will contain information on objects that will be grouped together by their class and described by their attributes.

Classes are groups of objects that share properties, these could be objects like roads or buildings.

Attributes are the specific pieces of information about an object in a class. For a road it could be the road's type, name, or the speed limit.

Classes

Classes have different usages depending on the type of class being used. Classes are used in Rules and Actions to filter objects that need to be checked or have changes made to them.

Often, classes will come from the Data Store that you are using as Context for your Rule or Action. For some Rules and Actions, you may want to use Standard Classes or the System Classes instead.

System Classes include the Connectivity Network class used in Network Graphs, the three Topology Primitives, and the Singleton Class.

Attributes

The attributes of a class are mainly accessed by using Attribute Values. In Rules they will be used to check the validity of your data, and Actions will update, create, or report on these attributes.
