DataSets Tab

Each job editor, except for the Link Analysis Job Editor, contains a DataSets tab (Figure 65). Use the DataSets tab to identify the datasets to use in the job:

• The datasets that the job contains are usually the same as the datasets in the pattern; however, the datasets in the job override the pattern datasets.
• You can substitute different datasets from those identified in the pattern, but this only works if the alternate datasets have the same attributes as the datasets used in the pattern.
• List the datasets in the same order as in the pattern; you can update the list order by clicking and dragging a specific dataset. Use the Salient Entities function on the DataSets tab to set up looping jobs or multiple runs (in other words, set up separate, independent runs based on the values in one of the dataset fields). We recommend that you follow these guidelines before using this function:
  • Use the Looping Entity option to set up separate runs based on the values in one of the dataset fields.
  • Use the Multiple Run option to specify values in the dataset fields to set up independent runs based on user-defined ranges specified in the dataset fields.
  • Use the Date Control (KDD_CAL) table in the applicable datasets in place of the Start Date and End Date fields.
