Attribute node

Reference an item's attribute value

The Attribute node references the value of a specific attribute for each queried item, which can be on:

• the design/interface being queried

• a linked design/interface reached via one or more Link attributes,
  e.g. the Teams design → its Members attribute → the Team Members design

It's similar to a Value from item attribute node but has a narrower scope.

See comparison

	Attribute Node	Value From Item Attribute Node
What items can be accessed?	Each item fetched by the query	Any items from a specific design/interface
Can you access specific items?	No	Yes
Can you access items outside the query's results?	No	Yes
Does the value change per queried item?	Yes - it's a live reference	No - it's a fixed value

Usage

This node is an input, so you can add it to the segments of:

• these comparison nodes:

  • Is set / Is not set

  • Equals / Not equals

  • Less than / Greater than

  • Starts with / Contains word

  • Within / Intersects / Disjoint

• Length

• all Arithmetic nodes

Compatibility

This node fills one segment. A second segment must hold a matching value type, but not a Property node.

Node	Accepted Value Type	Notes
Another Attribute	Same type	Compare two attributes of the same type, on the same item. Not possible for Link or Geometry attributes
Count	Number
Yes/No	Yes/No
Number	Number
Date / Date Time / Seasonal / Time	Date, Date Time, Seasonal, Time	Seasonal ignores the year, Time ignores the date
Relative Date / Relative Date Time	Date, Date Time	Derived each time the query runs
Text	Text
GeoJSON	Geometry
Item	Item Id	Only Link attributes are compatible
Value From Item Attribute	Same type	From one or more items of any design/interface
Length	Number
Arithmetic nodes	Number

Options

Select the node to access its options:

• Open in Pathfinder - use the Pathfinder to change the selected attribute. You can perform one or more "hops" to visit a linked design/interface, then choose one there.

• Delete - remove the node from the segment.

Example

Fetch all defects that are awaiting inspection.

In AQS terms:

Fetch items of the Defects interface where their Status attribute equals Awaiting Inspection.

To build this step-by-step, see Example 1 - Check an attribute.
