Creating Episodes

Episodes are used by structuring scenarios to generate events which meet specific criteria, based on runtime parameters.

For example, if the sum of consecutive transactions fall under the specified range, it is considered an episode. If the number of episodes crosses the specified threshold, then an event will be generated.

To create an episode, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Pipeline Designer page.
2. Drag and drop the Episode widget from the widgets pane to the designer pane, after a High Level Dataset.
3. Hover on the Episode widget and click Edit . The Episode window displays any existing conditions.
4. Select options from the drop-down lists to edit existing conditions.
5. Select options from the List of Conditions to add additional conditions for consideration by the scenario. Configure these conditions by selecting options from the drop-down lists.
6. Click Add to add a new runtime parameter which can be used by the conditions.
   1. Enter the name for the runtime parameter in the Name field.
   2. Enter a description for the runtime parameter in the Description field.
   3. Select a Datatype for the runtime parameter from the Datatype drop-down list.
   4. Enter any default values for the runtime parameter.
   5. Click OK to save the runtime parameter.
7. Click Save to save the changes.
   You can perform certain tasks that are common in all the widgets, such as edit, delete, filter, and so on. For more information, see Common Tasks.
