Adding records to a data set

For data sets created using a file upload or from the Data Source Library, you can add records.

You cannot add records to a data set while an enrichment on that data set is running.

When you add records, Studio does not allow you to make any changes to the attribute configuration. It takes the selected data and adds it as new records to the existing data.

Note that Studio does not check whether a record is a duplicate of an existing record, so it is possible to add duplicate records to the data set.

From the Data Sets page, to add records to a data set:

  1. Click the Add Records link for the data set.

    The link is available both on the main Data Sets page and on the Overview tab for the data set.

  2. For a file upload data set:
    1. To search for and select the file containing the new records, click Browse.

      The file must be the same type of file used to create the original data set.

      Studio processes the file, then displays a subset of the data. For Excel spreadsheets, Studio displays data from the first worksheet.

    2. For an Excel file, if there are multiple worksheets, then from the Select the sheet to use drop-down list, select the worksheet to use for the upload.
    3. For an Excel file, if the data has a header row, check the My data includes header row checkbox.
    4. Click Add Records.
  3. For a Data Source Library data set:
    1. For an Oracle BI data source, you are prompted to provide credentials to verify your access to the data.
    2. Select the filters to use to determine the data to add.

      The filters initially reflect the last filters used when data was added to the data set.

    3. Click Add Records.
