Profile Attribute Facets

The attribute facets in the profile view display details about the entity.

This area displays the main attributes of the profile, which are displayed in various facets. Right at the top is the profile banner, which displays the entity name, entity ID, and entity type. This profile banner is dynamic, which basically means that the size of the banner automatically adjusts in size based on the information in the banner. This ensures the critical facets in your profile get more space.

You can also view entity details in various facets (which are configured in the UI Modeler). For example, the Attributes facet display the basic attributes of the entity such as the name and address details.

The Hierarchy facet displays your organization’s structure and its child entities and how they are related to each other.

The organizational structure, in which there are successive branching and subdivisions, helps to understand the affiliations between organizations.

The Relationship facet displays the relationship of an entity with other entities.

You can rate each relation listed here to be correct or not. Taking the example in the above image, if you know that the Health Care Practitioner does not work at the HCO anymore, you can disagree and give the reason why you think so. A history is maintained, and you can view details of who agreed or disagreed, when the action was taken, and the number of agreements or disagreements. For more information, see topic Rate details in the Relationship facet.

Note: To enable voting in the relationship facet, you must configure the relationship chart in the UI Modeler. For more information, see topic Charts for profile pages in the UI Modeler.

For more detailed information about the various facets that can be configured for a profile, see UI Modeler.

More about attribute and their values

You can use the Profile perspective to edit attribute values here. A blue icon next to an attribute value indicates that the value has additional values associated with it. You can hover over the blue icon to view these additional values. These multiple values are consolidated into the profile over a period of time, through the process of merging. The main value displayed here is the Operational Value(OV), which is determined by the survivorship rules.

Nested attributes have an arrow next to it, which when expanded will display the related sub-attributes.

Reference attribute is displayed as a link. When you click this link, the referenced location entity is displayed.

Boolean attributes are used to create true or false statements and contain Yes/No or True/False values. The value of a boolean attribute can be Yes or No at the attribute level, but at the nested attribute level, the value of a boolean attribute can be True or False.

You can also configure to display a ? icon next to the attribute that helps you understand the significance or meaning of the attribute.

When you hover over the ? icon, you will see a pop up that describes the attribute. You will find this icon in the Viewing, Suggesting, and Editing modes. The description that you see in the pop up is defined in the Data Modeler in the Console. You can also find the same icon in the Single attribute facet, next to the title. For more information, see topic Configure your profile pages and Create an attribute.

Errors and warnings

In the new Profile view, any errors in the profile data or warnings are displayed right at the top of the profile page. You will see the name of the attribute and sub-attribute, if it contains a validation error or warning.

You can now directly navigate to the attribute value that is related to the error. Select the Editing mode in the dropdown. You can now see the link next to the error and warning messages. You can click on this link to go directly to the attribute value that is incomplete or invalid.

For example, if the Zip code is blank in the Address attribute, the error or warning message will display the zip code attribute name to let you know where the error is. Make the required changes in the attribute and then save the profile.

It's the same for reference attributes too, for example a location. You can view RDM transcode errors for reference attributes at the top of the profile, the difference being that these are only visible in the Viewing mode, In other words, these errors are not visible in the other modes such as Editing or Suggesting. See an example below:

Notice the icon next to the attribute name. Hover over the icon to view a tooltip, which indicates that this is only available in view mode.

You can navigate to the error by clicking on the error.

Note: To enable display of the RDM transcode errors here, you must configure the validateReferenceEntityInReadMode parameter in the UI configuration file. An example of the configuration is given below:
{
         "point": "com.reltio.plugins.ui.configuration",
         "id": "com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation",
         "validateRelations": true,
         "validateReferenceEntityInReadMode": true
      },
