Description:

Field	Description
Source name	Name of the Data Source.
Date/Time	Date and time of source ingestion.
State	State of the data source. Saved: The data source has been saved, but requires further modification before it can be Tested and Published. Published: The data source has been successfully tested and published. Documents are generated and queries will return data to the visualizations. Suspended: The data source has been suspended. Related documents are no longer returned to queries or visualizations.
Owner	User that is assigned as owner to the Data Source.
Origin	Internal or External. For more information see....
Data Group	Data Group to which the data source belongs.
Actions	List of potential actions to be performed, depending on the data source "state." Edit: Edit a source for re-publishing. Republish: After making changes to the data source, re-publish the source so that the changes will be reflected in queries and visualizations. Test: Test the source to ensure that it is formatted properly and returns the desired results. Delete: Delete the data source from the platform. View: View the source without editing capabilities.

View/Edit Data Source

The following fields, or a subset of these fields, are displayed when you click on View or Edit.

Field	Description
Source Title	Source title.
Data Group	Associated Data Group.
Tags	Descriptive tags.
Media Type	Selected Media Type.
Description	Description of the data source.
Data Origin	Internal/External. For more information, see Data Sources.
	Toggle JSON/JS Editor (if applicable) JSON: This is the full source including all fields. JS: The global script that all other elements can use - all of the logic can be written in here as separate functions, and then the scriptlets in other pipeline elements can be simple calls to these functions, to maximize the maintainability of the code in the source.
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 Source	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	Setting which enables/disables test mode to check the database to see if documents already exist. This enables additional logic to be setup elsewhere in the source pipeline for testing eg. compare old and new sources, ignore sources older than N days etc.
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.
