Manage transactions

Authentication API applications can use transaction details. You can also define context rules based on the transaction details being used. To define transaction context rules, you need to first define Transaction Items and Transaction Rules. See Manage resource rules for more information.

Set the Transactions

1.      Click > Configuration > Transactions. The Transactions page appears.

2.      Set the Transaction Items as follows:

a.      Under Transaction Items, click Add. The Add Transaction Item dialog box appears.

b.      Enter a Name for the transaction item. The name corresponds to the transaction detail name that is used as part of the Authentication API transaction detail.

c.      Select the Type from the drop-down list. Options include

–  String

–  Numeric (currently only integers are supported)

d.      Set the Required setting (true or false).

–  If selected (true), a default value is not required.

–  If deselected (false), you can specify a value to be used if a Transaction Rule is based on this Transaction Item and the Authentication API does not pass in this item in its transaction detail. If you do not provide a value, string types receive a value of "" and numeric types receive a value 0.

e.      Click Add.

f.        Repeat these steps to add more Transaction Items. You should add a separate Transaction Item for each transaction detail for which transaction rules are defined in the section, Set the Transaction Rules.
