Automatic attribute cataloging

As well as providing the ability to manage the catalog manually, RPI also automatically catalogs values for any newly created attributes.  This is carried out by the Task Manager service, which runs a scheduled task every 10 minutes.

Following an attribute’s initial cataloging, the frequency at which it is refreshed is controlled by system configuration setting AttributeRefreshInterval, which controls the number of days between refreshes.  Every [n] (where [n] = AttributeRefreshInterval) days since an attribute’s last refresh, attribute counts are refreshed automatically.

These features ensure that any disruption experienced while building selection rules due to having to wait while attribute values are cataloged is kept to a minimum.

Note that auto-cataloged attribute counts are only available once you log off and back into RPI.
