Create a Data Modify Profile Selector

Configure a data modify profile selector to define the decision tables to use to select a data modify profile.

Before you begin

Configure the data modify profiles that the profile selector will use as normalization results and create the decision tables that will contain the conditions (normalization parameters) for selecting each profile.

Procedure

  1. In Data Modify, on the Profile Selectors tab, click New Data Modify Profile Selector.
  2. In Create New Data Modify Profile Selector:
    1. In Name, enter a unique name.
    2. (Optional) In Description, enter descriptive information about the item.
    3. (Optional) In External ID, enter any alphanumeric character to serve as a unique ID on this pricing object. The external ID can be used for any reason that is meaningful to your implementation of MATRIXX Engine. External IDs are saved to the pricing configuration file and loaded into the Pricing database.
    4. Click Create.
  3. In Edit Data Modify Profile Selector, (if needed) change the general properties (the name, description, external ID, or revision start date and time of the item) and click Save.
    Note: Any time you edit the value of a general property, you must click Save for your changes to take effect.
  4. In Start Date/Time, use the date picker to select the date on which the object becomes active in the Pricing database and is first available for use, or enter the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Optionally, enter a time for when the object becomes active. The default start date/time is 2000–01–01 00:00:00. If applicable, the range in which the start date/time must fall is listed. For example:
    • Select a date on or before 2021–12–01.
    • Select a date on or after 2020–01–27.
    • Select a date between 2000–01–02 and 2021–10–04.
    Note: If you are creating a new revision of this object, the start date/time must be after the start date/time of the preceding revision and before the start date/time of the next revision. If you are making a copy of this object, the start date/time is not copied. The new object is the first revision, so it has the default start date/time of 2000–01–01 00:00:00.
  5. In the Data Modify Profile Tables pane, click New Table to create a data modify table.
  6. In Create New Table:
    1. In Name, enter a unique name.
    2. (Optional) In Description, enter descriptive information about the item.
    3. (Optional) In External ID, enter any alphanumeric character to serve as a unique ID on this pricing object. The external ID can be used for any reason that is meaningful to your implementation of MATRIXX Engine. External IDs are saved to the pricing configuration file and loaded into the Pricing database.
    4. Click Create.
  7. In Edit Profile Selector Table, configure general properties to define the default result and the decision table to use for selecting a profile, and optionally add metatdata to the table.
