Manage Presto Global Attributes
Presto global attributes define:
*Default or common values that should be used for input parameters to mashables, mashups or apps.
*Default or shared values for Presto user attributes. For example, global attributes can define a credential that many users can share to invoke a mashable. Some users may have their own credentials which are defined as a Presto user attribute of the same name.
*Credentials or other configuration used in connections to SharePoint when your site has the Presto Add-On for SharePoint Add-On. For more information on global attributes used with SharePoint connections, see SharePoint Credentials for Mashables and Mashups configuring Configure Presto Connections to SharePoint.
*Schemas for datasets used in RAQL queries in Presto Analytics. See Global Dataset Schemas as Presto Attributes for more information.
To manage Presto global attributes
1. Click Admin Console in the Presto Hub main menu.
2. Open the Attributes section and click Global Attributes.
3. To add a global attribute:
a. Click Add new global attribute.
b. Enter a Name for the attribute.
Presto attributes can have any name, but they must be unique within a given Presto Repository. If a global attribute is to be used as a default for a Presto user attribute, then the attribute names must match.
c. Enter the Value for the attribute.
d. If the value of the attribute should be encrypted, such as for a password, set the Encrypted option.
The value of the attribute is encrypted in the Presto Repository and will automatically be decrypted when it is used.
e. Click Save.
4. To update a global attribute, click Edit for that attribute in the list and update the name or value.
5. To delete a global parameter, click Delete for that attribute in the list.
6. Restart the Presto Server to apply these changes. See Start and Stop the Presto Server for instructions.
