The Set Selection utility is designed to manage sets of records on input, and single records on output. This allows you to flag values throughout the set based on conditional results and then investigate individual records on the output. You can add an Attribute Transformation or insert a condition for attributes in the input and output data.
Note the following:
- The Set Selection utility only processes records when the conditions are met, although you can run the utility without setting a condition.
- The Set Selection Aggregate functions (ALL, ANY, AVG, NUM, SUM) work on sets only, and therefore are not available for output conditionals. They are also not supported for input and output row filters.
