Data Mining Processing Form

The Data Mining Processing form is used to set parameters/tolerances for those conditions that support settings and also to select the criteria for which the process will evaluate and record results. The Cost Analysis Data Mining reports then display the processed data with a set of parameters that you can control and adjust depending on how you want it presented.

To run the process manually, use the Run button in the processing form toolbar.
To schedule the process, use the Schedule button in the processing form toolbar.

For more information on data mining, see the Data Mining Detail and Summary Reports.
