For information about Attributes, including overview, use cases, and how to target Attributes, see About Attributes.

Channel Attributes

Channel attributes are attributes managed on the Channel by the SDK.

Channel attributes

Airship.channel.editAttributes { editor in
    editor.set(string: "Bobby's Phone", attribute: "device_name")
    editor.set(number: 4.99, attribute: "average_rating")
    editor.remove("vip_status")
}
[UAirship.channel editAttributes:^(UAAttributesEditor * editor) {
    [editor setString:@"Bobby's Phone" attribute:@"device_name"];
    [editor setNumber:@(4.99) attribute:@"average_rating"];
    [editor removeAttribute:@"vip_status"];
}];

Contact Attributes

Contact attributes are attributes managed on the Contact by the SDK.

Contact attributes

Airship.contact.editAttributes { editor in
    editor.set(string: "Bobby", attribute: "first_name")
}
[UAirship.contact editAttributes:^(UAAttributesEditor * editor) {
    [editor setString:@"Bobby" attribute:@"first_name"];
}];

Verifying Attributes

To verify that attributes have been set correctly, look up the channel or contact in the Contact Management view. You can search by Channel ID or Named User ID to view the attributes associated with a channel or contact.
