You do not need to understand the components of an attribute's code
in order to use it.
A few notes of warning though, attributes are very particular beings and "any" change in their format may result in the attribute not working. Even the simple space serves a function and extra spaces will count against you :-). Another point to note is that an attribute may work well in one application and not at all in another (eg OE vs NUR). Note: If you copy and paste attributes from the MAP page sometimes the
copy picks up invisible code. If an attribute doesn't initially work. Try
typing it.

Temporary fields,pulls from /file @t.fields | |
Temporary fields:
ADM= ANS%0 NUR=/RESP (responses entered in Process Intervention screen NUR=@NUR.PC.WORK.value(/NPCWF)-is used when editing in view history NUR=ANS when in the assessment routine |

Permanent fields pulls from disk @p.fields | |
Types of attribute statements:
FCLn-(line checks) tell the system what is acceptable input. The system reads line checks after a response has been entered. You can have multiple line checks e.g. FCL1(response),FCL1A(message based on response) , FCL2,FCL2A.Line Checks REQ,REQI-tells the system that the query is required (the user cannot pass by this query) when the specified conditions are met. |

therefore, attributes for Nursing are more difficult than for other attributes. Nursing uses different temporary indexes when saving responses to queries when documenting in Process Interventions, when editing queries in View History, and when filling out an Assessment in the Assessment routine. Therefore, we must make certain the value the attribute defines will be stored in all of these indexes |
