The Input Data Sets Sheet |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
The Input Data Sets sheet is the point of entry for reading the input parameters. It declares all the datasets defined in the workbook. When the workbook is imported to the Console, the datasets will be displayed in the Input Datasets list and are available for selection in scenario definitions.
A simple sheet might look like the following:
The first column declares the names of the individual datasets. Each data object defined by the ruleset signature is then stated in the subsequent columns, respecting the case of the names, each of which must be defined in its own sheet in the workbook. The first row declares the class key, as declared in the rsm_config sheet, and the second row declares the parameter name in the ruleset signature.
In the example above, there are two datasets and two parameters; the first parameter is named rental and the second is named session.
Multiple datasets defined by way of a single Excel file become independent after being imported into the Console; the datasets cannot be regrouped and downloaded together again. The names of the datasets as displayed in the Console are taken from the datasets names list on importation of the Excel file.
