FieldDescriptionNote
Source TitleSource title. 
Data GroupData Group to which the data source is associated.

Media TypeMedia type selected from the dropdown.

ValidateValidates any changes made in the JSON editor. 
Scrub

Scrubs the JSON editor.

When copying an existing source into the New Source window, the existing source should be "scrubbed" first. Scrubbing sources removes all fields added by the server after publishing, just retaining the actual ingest logic. It should be used before copying/templating.

 
RevertReverts the JSON code to its original state. 
Test

Select the amount of source documents that should be included in the test. Less verbose tests can often yield more usable results.

Possible settings:

1, 10, 20.

 
Full TextEnable/disable the document full text to be returned during testing. Full text can often be quite long and cumbersome for testing purposes. 
Update Test ModeTODO: Need to determine what this means. 
Test SourceClick to Test the Source. 
Save SourceClick to Save the source without publishing. 
Publish SourceClick to Publish the source. The source will be ingested by the platform and returned to queries and visualizations.
