UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository attributes
The
repository.dql file contains definitions for custom attributes. The custom attributes are presented in the
Store Survey Asset into Repository Wizard. The attributes added to survey assets can help describe and categorize the assets and can be used later when searching for survey assets. For example, you might want to store the names of the countries in which the question should be used.
