An entity attribute is assigned a different value or descriptor based on a random percentage. This applies to both predefined attributes such as Cost and user-defined attributes that are defined in the Attributes & Variables dialog under the Insert menu.
Suggested Technique
- Define the entity attribute.
- Assign a value or descriptor to the attribute in Action logic using the user-defined distribution function. For example: Color = D2(30, red, 70, blue)
Example: Eighty percent of the time an insurance claim form is for personal injury and 20% of the time for property damage.
TO DO: Define the descriptive attribute called Type in the Attributes & Variables dialog under the Insert menu with PER and PROP as descriptors. Enter the Action logic as shown above in the arrival’s Action logic tab.
