Creating Flag Rules

Flag rules allow you to bring in Boolean values from a flag table.

To add a flag rule:

1. On the top of the Measure Factory Editor page, click Rules.

2. On the upper right, click New.

   The New Rule pane opens on the right.

   

3. Select Flag rule.
4. Select a data set from the pull-down list.
5. Select a flag table from the pull-down list.

6. Click Create rule.

   The flag rule is created and opens in the detail pane with the default name NewRule#.

   

7. Enter a name for the rule, and click to confirm your changes.

   NOTE: The Column automatically populates assuming the column name is the same as the rule name. If necessary, select the correct column from the pull-down list.

   In this example, the flag rule is Foundation Product in the Sales data set, pointing to the Product Flags flag table, using the column Foundation Product as the flag.
