Chapter 6. Data Discovery Rules 
XYPRO Technology Corporation  129  Proprietary and Confidential 
Select an item from the Attribute List. 
Complete the appropriate attribute values, if there are any. 
You can repeat items 6 and 7 to build a list of multiple attributes to check. Note that 
these attributes are combined using AND not OR. If you need OR, you must 
highlight the AND in the Rule Selection Criteria box and type OR to replace the 
AND. 
Click Save to save the query. 
To use this new rule, click Apply. 
6.3  The Predicate as the Rule Selection Criteria 
The predicate is the combination of entity attributes and attribute values that are the 
basis of the query. The predicate is applied to a collection dataset to select rows from 
that dataset that meet the value attributes in the predicate. The rows that are selected 
are displayed as the results for the basic query. 
On this screen there are buttons at the bottom that control the format of your predicate. 
Clear Last  Remove the most recently specified attribute and attribute value. 
Clear All  Remove the entire query. 
Test Query  Execute the query against the default collection, which was 
specified in the User Preferences screen (item 6 on page 45), 
returning only the first five rows. 
View Syntax  Show the actual SQL query syntax generated. 
Advanced  Switch to a mode where the actual data column names are 
displayed and a free-form box is available to enter your own SQL 
queries. Please note that the SQL language supported does not 
permit joins of any sort. 
6.3.1  Applying the Rule Selection Criteria to a Collection 
When you click Apply, the rule selection criteria will be used to select a specific set of 
data that matches the criteria. 
The query will apply the rule to the currently defined default collection. If you have the 
user’s preferences set up to use the Most Recent collection (item 3 on page 45), the 
default will normally be set to the most recent collection.
