Pipelines

You can use the TLS user interface to view, create, configure, and delete pipelines.

After you access the configuration user interface, TLS displays a list of pipelines including the default pipeline.

Creating a pipeline

You can either copy an existing pipeline, such as the default pipeline, and modify it, or create a new pipeline.

To copy the default pipeline and modify the copy, perform the following steps:

  1. In the list of Pipelines in the left pane, click a pipeline. In the right pane, the pipeline and its details are displayed.

  2. Click the Copy icon Copy icon to the right of the pipeline name.

  3. In the Copy pipeline dialog box, enter a name and description for the pipeline and click Create. Note that the name must be unique.

To create a new pipeline, perform the following steps:

  1. In the left pane, click New pipeline.

  2. In the Create a new pipeline dialog box, enter a name and description for the pipeline and click Create. Note that the name must be unique.

Mapping the columns in your .csv data file

You can use the TLS user interface to map columns in your .csv data file to backend variables. This is done for the /train REST API endpoint only. For scoring, send the complete JSON payload with the required fields because TLS doesn't perform data mapping as part of scoring.

  1. In the Pipeline list in the left pane, click the pipeline you want to configure. In the right pane, the pipeline and its details are displayed.

  2. In the Settings box, click the Edit icon Edit icon.

  3. Enter the column name in your training-data .csv file for each of the required properties, then click Apply.

Adding modules to a pipeline

To add modules to a pipeline, perform the following steps:

  1. In the list of pipelines in the left pane, click the pipeline name you want to add modules to. In the right pane, the pipeline and its details are displayed.

  2. If you have no modules, in the Modules box, click Let's build. The Modules page is displayed.

  3. If you already have modules in your pipeline, select View details --> in the upper-right corner of the Modules pane. The Modules page is displayed.

  4. Click Add module and select New module or Existing module.

Changing the name or description of a pipeline

  1. In the Pipelines list of pipelines in the left pane, click the pipeline to rename it.

  2. In the Settings box, click the Edit icon.

  3. Enter the new name and description for the pipeline. Note that the name must be unique.

Deleting a pipeline

To delete a pipeline, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Pipeline list in the left pane, click the pipeline you want to delete. In the right pane, the pipeline and its details are displayed.

  2. Click Delete to the right of the pipeline name. When the Delete confirmation dialog box appears, click Delete.
