Specifications are a way of defining the characteristics and behavior of assets or other entities in Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service. Specifications can include sets of procedures, and careful handling instructions for hazardous or delicate materials, as well as attributes that provide information about the entity.
Attributes are data elements that can be used to store and display values, such as dimensions, weight, color, model, serial number, and so on. Attributes can also be used to define relationships between entities, such as parent-child, sibling, or peer-to-peer. Attributes can be configured to have different data types, validations, default values, and display options.
