PRT_ATTRIBUTES.CFG

About this task

The PRT Attribute Labels ( prt_attributes.cfg ) configuration file is used to assign attributes to your items. Attributes can be assigned to all item types or can be assigned to a specific item class.

When assigning attributes to an item class, use the keyword ITEMCLASS.

For each PRT Service that you have designated in your Tracking Model, you will need a separate configuration file named for the Service.
