# NumberAttributeBoostingConfiguration
<a name="API_NumberAttributeBoostingConfiguration"></a>

Provides information on boosting `NUMBER` type document attributes.

In the current boosting implementation, boosting focuses primarily on `DATE` attributes for recency and `STRING` attributes for source prioritization. `NUMBER` attributes can serve as additional boosting factors when needed, but are not supported when using `NativeIndexConfiguration` version 2.

For more information on how boosting document attributes work in Amazon Q Business, see [Boosting using document attributes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/business-use-dg/metadata-boosting.html).
