Configuring model inputs

After you set up a connection to your model, configure the inputs for the model. The inputs are the fields in OpenPages® that contain the data that you want the model to process.

About this task

Ask your data scientist to provide you with the inputs that are needed for the model you are using.

You can use one OpenPages object type per model or you can select all object types to use multiple object types with the model.

Procedure

  1. In the Object type section of the Map inputs page, do one of the following steps:
    • Select the object type that you want to use with the model.
    • Select Select all object types if you want to use the model with multiple object types.

      When Select all object types is selected, only System fields are available for selection.

  2. Do one of the following steps:
    • Select Manual so that the user can control when the model runs.
    • Select Automatic to run the model when all of the required fields are set.
  3. Map the inputs that your model needs to the OpenPages fields that contain the data.

    Ensure that your input fields meet the following requirements:

    • At least one required field is specified.
    • The type of each OpenPages field must match the type of the model input field it is mapped to.
    • Fields must be listed in the order that the model expects, if applicable. If you need to rearrange the list, you can drag the fields to change the order.

    Create a row for each input that your model needs. Click Add input to add a row.

    • Model input fields

      Enter the name of a model input field.

      If your model does not specify input field names, you can specify your own field names.

    • OpenPages fields

      Select the field that contains the input data that you want to send to the model. For example, you might map Description to Description(System Fields:Description).
