getgroupattribute() Function

Retrieves the value of the specified group attribute for the given group. Use this only to retrieve group attributes for groups of a specific group type. This function will not work with custom groups without a specific group type. To retrieve attributes common to all groups, such as id, use the group() function.

Syntax

getgroupattribute( group, attribute )

group: (group) The group for which the value of the attribute is to be retrieved.

attribute: (Text) The name of the desired attribute.

Returns

Any Type

Notes

When you create a custom group type, you can add attributes for the group type.

When you later create a group of this type (which must be public or restricted), you can also specify values for the defined attributes.

getgroupattribute() cannot be used to define a column of process report data or in a process event.

Examples

You can copy and paste these examples into the Expression Rule Designer to see how this works.

Returning the creation date of a custom group:

getgroupattribute(pv!myGroup,"dateCreated") where pv!myGroup is a process variable holding a Group data type, which is a custom public group of type "personalgroups", and the group type has an attribute called dateCreated returns 5/9/06
