Use the General tab to specify the
details of the data source.
- ID
- Type the ID number of the data source you want to create.

the next available number in sequence, you can set the code to be
any unique numeric value by typing that value in the ID field.
- Code
- Type the code of the data source you want to create.
This is
the value of the DSRC_CODE UMF tag. The data source
code value can be alphanumeric and is used to further identify a data
source. This value must be unique and cannot be changed once the record
has been saved.
- Description
- Type the description of the data source you want to create.
- Location
- From the drop-down list, select the location code for the data
source you want to create.
This field is for reference use only.

data source you want to create.
This field is for reference use
only.
- Status
- From the drop-down list, select Active to
specify that this data source is active. Otherwise, select Inactive.
- Trust Action
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to
specify that you can rely on the accuracy of the ACTION UMF
tag from your data source. Otherwise, select No to
determine the action by examining the entity database. Selecting No will
introduce a performance hit.
- For Searching
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to
specify that this data source is used for loading searches. Otherwise,
select No.
- Transliterate
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to
specify that transliteration should occur for this data source. This
allows support for the Latin 1 character set. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If
you enable the transliterate setting for any data source, you must
also enable the transliterate configuration setting for data source
ID 1589 (Search). The 1589 data source is used by the product to input
searches to the pipeline, and by default, assumes ASCII character
inputs. Enabling this configuration ensures that names
that are part of a search are also properly transliterated to provide
the most accurate search results.
