Overview

A Dataflow is a structure on which data is collected and disseminated. A Dataflow references a Data Structure Definition (DSD) which is used as the underlying template to which the data must conform.

When viewing a Dataflow, it is the underlying DSD that is shown, however it is shown in the context of the Dataflow and therefore any additional restrictions which have been applied to the Dataflow (see section 12 Reporting Constraints) will be reflected in this view.

Dataflow Wizard

The Dataflow Wizard includes the first generic step for information about the Dataflow.

The second step requires the selection of the Data Structure Definition (DSD) the Dataflow will use. To select or modify the DSD selection click in the input field, this will open a list of available DSDs to select from. The details of the selected DSD are shown on this step.
