A library ABR stored in a library attribute becomes a centralized, shareable library rule. To add an ABR to a library attribute, you either create an ABR in the Library or promote an existing ABR.
During the promotion process, you have the choice to copy the rule to the Library and keep an association to the original rule, make a copy without associations, or copy the rule and delete the original. You can modify these associations at any time. You can also associate a library attribute (and all the rules it contains) with a real attribute. For more information about associations between ABRs, see Associating Library Attributes.
Note: Deleted rules cannot be retrieved or restored.
Guidelines:
Note
the following when promoting ABRs:
- You can add multiple ABRs to the same library attribute.
- You need create and edit permissions on the target library attribute to promote a rule to it.
- When you promote an ABR to the Standard(1) attribute, the promoted rule will be run against attributes in all subsequent data loads.
- If you promote a rule by moving the rule to the Library and creating an association, you cannot promote the rule to another library attribute unless the association is removed.
- You can copy an ABR to more than one library attribute.
