Manage Global Attributes
Business Analytics global attributes define:
Default or common values that should be used for input parameters to mashables, mashups or apps.
Default or shared values for
Business Analytics 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
Business Analytics user attribute of the same name.
Credentials or other configuration used in connections to
SharePoint when your site has the
Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint Add-On. For more information on global attributes used with
SharePoint connections, see configuring
