Using data models in other decision artifacts

To use your vocabulary in another decision artifact, you must create a dependency between the decision artifact and the data model.

This action can be done at the creation of the decision artifact, or at any moment from the Dependencies tab. You can create dependencies between a decision artifact and multiple data models.

Creating a dependency automatically

You can automatically create a dependency between a data model and the following decision artifacts: decision models, task models, and predictive models.

In the Create model wizard, select your data model under Select the data model you want to use as a data source. The data models contained in your decision service are listed in alphabetical order. The first data model in the list is automatically selected. You can select another one from the drop-down list.

When you select a data model at the creation of a decision artifact, a dependency is automatically created between the artifact and the data model. This dependency is then visible in the Dependencies tab.

Creating a dependency manually

This option can be used to create a dependency between a data model and any other decision artifact.

  1. From your decision artifact, open the Dependencies tab.
  2. Click Add +.
  3. Select the data model that you want to use and click Add.

Once you have created the dependency, the data types from your data model are available in your decision artifact.
