Select the data type of each column that you selected. The supported data types are String, Number, Boolean, and Date. You can add as many columns as available in your database table.
    • Select Custom if you want to create custom attributes. Add a Name for each input attribute and select Datatype. The supported data types are String, Number, Boolean, and Date. You can add as many input attributes as you want to use in your rules.
