Data Group | Data Group to which the data source is associated. | ||
Tags | Descriptive tags associated with the data source. | ||
Media Type | Media type selected from the dropdown. | ||
Description | Description of the data source.Template | Leave empty to edit raw JSON/Javascript or start from one of the available source templates. TODO: will this be a standardized list of source templates that need to be documented? | |
Image Added | Toggle JSON/JS Editor | ||
Validate | Validates 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. | ||
Revert | Reverts 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 Text | Enable/disable the document full text to be returned during testing. Full text can often be quite long and cumbersome for testing purposes. | ||
Update Test Mode | TODO: Need to determine what this means. | ||
Test Source | Click to Test the Source. | ||
Save Source | Click to Save the source without publishing. | ||
Publish Source | Click to Publish the source. The source will be ingested by the platform and returned to queries and visualizations. |
