| Using a data set in a data object |
Because a data object contains predesigned data sets, all you do is select a data set from the data object and the columns from the selected data set.
How to specify what data to retrieve from a data object
1 In Data Explorer, right-click Data Sets, then choose New Data Set.
2 In New Data Set, specify the following information:
1 In Data Source Selection, select the data object data source to use. Data Set Type displays Actuate Data Object Data Set.
2 In Data Set Name, type a name for the data set.
3 Choose Next.
3 In New Actuate Data Object Data Set, in Available Data Sets, select one of the data sets defined in the data object.
4 Select the columns to retrieve, and move them to the right pane.
5 Choose Finish to save the data set. Edit Data Set displays the columns in the data set, as shown in
Figure 4‑2.
