This reference documents the UI elements and actions available in the Rosetta Stone Attributes interface, where you can browse all attributes and create and edit custom attributes for your organization.

Listing page

Path: Rosetta Stone → Attributes The listing page displays all Rosetta Stone attributes available to your organization, including global platform attributes and custom attributes created by your company or shared with you.

Search and sort

  • Search — Filter attributes by name, display name, or description using the search field
  • Sort — Click column headers or use the Sort control to reorder the list

Columns

Each attribute row also displays a type icon indicating its data type.

Row actions

Click the three-dot menu on any attribute row to access additional actions. On an attribute your company owns, the menu includes Edit, which opens the Edit Attribute panel.

Attribute detail page

Path: Rosetta Stone → Attributes →

Derivations

Two cards show the derivation rules that connect this attribute to others. Each card appears only when at least one active rule applies, and both require you to be signed in — the rules shown are the ones your company owns or has been given. Each row shows: Rules are read-only here. Create, update, and delete them through the Derivations API.

Create Attribute panel

Access: Click the Create Attribute + button in the top right of the listing page The Create Attribute panel opens as a side drawer where you can define a new custom attribute. Fields marked with a sparkle icon support AI-assisted generation — Rosetta Stone can suggest a display name, name, and description based on what you enter.

Basic Information

Start by entering a display name — Rosetta Stone can generate the snake_case name and a description for you automatically.

Type

See Attribute Types for details on each type and when to use them.

Type Configuration

Collaborators

Control who can see and use your custom attribute. Both fields default to Only my company, keeping the attribute private to your organization. To share your attribute more broadly, change these to include other companies or make the attribute visible to everyone on the platform.

Creating the attribute

Click Create at the bottom of the panel to save the new attribute. The attribute is immediately available for mapping in the Normalized Datasets interface.

Edit Attribute panel

Access: Choose Edit from an attribute’s row menu on the listing page, or from the actions menu on its detail page Edit appears only on attributes your company owns. The panel opens with the same sections as the Create Attribute panel, filled in with the attribute’s current values, and with these differences: Some type definitions have no inputs in the panel, such as a binary attribute, an array of objects, or a nested object property. The panel shows a message naming them, and saving keeps them as they are. Click Save to apply your changes. If the platform refuses a change, such as a narrowing change to the type, the panel stays open with what you entered and a message giving the reason.
