Data source

This is the name of the resource data table in which you want to change/update data.

Selection

Once you have selected a data source the system displays the Selection Editor, which allows you to specify which data you want to use from your resource data table. By defining the selection criteria, you can limit the data you want to use or display to your users.

The selection operators the system displays vary based on the variable type:

• Numeric Fields: equals, not equals, is larger (or equal) than, is smaller (or equal) than, in, not in
• Text Fields: equals, not equals, is not, like, equals or empty, in, not in

You can also use "like" with leading and/or trailing wildcard (%), if necessary.

If your variable is a text, quoted, or comma-separated collection you can use in and not in. Use the format variable part to do the conversion. If the collection is empty, the system will drop this term from the query to avoid an error from "where target in {null}."

You can build complex criteria using the editor by using AND/OR (toggle to switch) and adding parentheses around specific terms to define the precise selection rules.

Advanced Note: While less-commonly used, you can also apply the greater than/smaller than rules for numeric fields using SQL.

Log data object

This is the name of the data object that stores error messages from the execution of the database parts: add data record, get data record, update data record, delete data record, and import values. If you specify a log data object, the system stores error message and a stack trace of the database part to this data object.

When used by multiple database parts, the Log data object stores the cumulative list of error messages from the different parts.
