Understanding Population Selection

Population selection enables you to use different tools to select IDs for a process. You can use a PS query, equation engine equation, or flat file or delimited file as a selection tool, or you can create other tools, to control which fields and records to use to identify the population. When you set up the tool in your system, you identify how many result rows to return and whether you want users to be able to preview results before running the process. Using contexts, you identify the processes for which the Population Selection feature will be available. Using context mapping, you can see which fields are mandatory or optional for the process. Inside the context, you also grant selection tool security to users.
