Common Attribute Framework

• What is Common Attribute Framework (CAF)?
  • The Common Attribute Framework is a structured means to extend delivered data without customizing delivered record definitions.
  • It allows users to add unique fields without customizing or creating a bolt-on.  The fields can be from within the institution and third party data sources.
  • The CAF gives users the tools to create a variety of field types to be added where needed.
  • It is a way to retain extended data through PS upgrades and delivered changes.
