Using Multiple Salient Entities

You can create a job with one dataset that has a date salient entity and an additional salient entity. These limit the target data to a specific date range and examination based on the values of the additional salient entity. For example, a security is the second salient entity. The results of the job are based on the date range and the various securities, in other words, the results for Security A, the results for Security B, the results for Security C, and so on. When executing the job, the system examines the data for matches to the pattern in loops over the second salient entity values.

The salient entities are used per dataset in the order that the Salient Entities area includes. You can adjust that order for run efficiency. If the selected dataset is based on a table, you may need to adjust the order of salient entities (by dragging and dropping until desired order is established) to ensure that the appropriate table index is used. If you make no adjustments, the system uses the salient entities in the order of their selection for the setup.
