Creating and Modifying the Candidate Data Set
When you have specified the records to change, click the Create CDS button to generate the CDS, which includes all records that match the conditions defined in the MCS. The system changes the MCS status from SPECIFIED to CREATED. If no records meet all the criteria, the system does not generate a CDS.
You can delete a CDS while the MCS's status is either SPECIFIED or CREATED; that is, until you actually use it to apply one or more changes to one or more records.
Note:
After the MCS has a status of CDS Created (or higher) you can no longer add criteria. However, you can add a Where clause to the CDS itself, or copy the MCS and modify the copy. You can also clear the CDS. See Excluding Records from the Group Update, Copying a Mass Change Specification, and Clearing a CDS.
