Data customization

Further to extracting data you can customize the resulting output in MDE.

There are three main forms of data customization.

  • Creating more data items.
  • Renaming or creating aliases for data items.
  • Sorting data output.

Additional data Items

It is possible to add bespoke data to your output.

You can do it by configuring the Name, Type and Result query element attributes.

For more information about Additional data items, see Configuring additional element data section and in the Adding Alias, Name, and Type Data section.

Aliasing

In Aliasing, you can create an entirely new name for a data item.

For more information about Aliasing, see Adding Alias, Name, and Type Data .

Sorting

You can set the order of output data. Data can be ordered by resource name or by time.
