Validating the Data Model Definition
The report writer validates the data model definition by getting a sample of the data model definition.
Report writers can get sample data directly from inside the Data Model Definition page and from the Data Model Definitions list by clicking the Get Sample button. (Configuration > Recruiting Administration > Embedded Reporting Administration > Data Model Definitions).
Two formats are available:
XML sample
HTML sample
When report writers select the HTML sample, data is presented in an HTML table which allows report writers to easily understand the data. In the HTML table, all the dataset attributes are always described in the first dataset. Connected datasets appear below each table. Each set of tables is unique to the first dataset records.
Samples of predefined sizes are available (10, 100, 1000, all records). The report writer must fill in any required parameter value before the sample is produced.
