With the action insert respondent attribute, you can insert any attribute from a respondent into the destination database. You can also insert a custom attribute.
When you choose this action, you will be provided with a list of attributes from the directory servers that are used in the project that is selected for the template.
Figure 15: Respondent attributes
Insert custom attributes
From the pulldown you can select the directory server that contains the attribute that has to be used. You can also choose to use a custom attribute instead of an attribute from one directory server. This option is particularly useful if you use more directory servers in one project.
Insert directory server attributes
Below the pulldown that selects the directory server or the custom attributes, you will see the attributes that are present in the directory server that you have selected. If you selected the custom attributes, you will see a list of the custom attributes that are in use in the project. Only the attributes that have the same data type as the data type of the destination column will be shown.
If the attribute that you have selected does not exist for a respondent, nothing will be placed in the destination database. If the operation type of the destination database is insert, and the destination column that you have selected has no default value and has the Not NULL constraint, then the Metatude software will place an empty string in the destination column if the data type of the column is string
