Setting Matching Criteria

Suggest Edits

Are you wondering what Matching Criteria are? Follow this link.

Matching criteria are defined in the Dataflow Properties > Matching Criteria panel.

Capt. Eddie to ground control:

"Remember that at least one Matching Criteria is required to create a Model!"

To create a new Matching Criteria, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the NEW button
  2. The New Matching Criteria pop-up will open.
  3. Enter a Name for your matching criteria and select whether the criteria will be enabled or disabled upon creation. The default is enabled.
  4. Select the Node your criteria will be associated to. Once you have selected a node, the Groups section will appear.
  1. Define a Group Name.
  2. You can add Default attributes to your group by selecting:
    • Attribute: this is the type of attribute that will be searched for in the monitored flows.
    • Condition
    • Value
      Click ADD to save the attribute
  3. You can also add Custom attributes. Custom attributes may be useful when flows are managed by external agents and are not subject to standard attribute rules.



The Attributes defined for each group are always related with an AND relationship. This means that they will ALL be applied on the monitored flows.

  1. Click on the ADD GROUP button to add as many groups as you need.



The Attributes Groups are always related with an OR relationship. This means that only the attributes of ONE group are enough for the rule to be applied.

  1. When all the options are set, click on the SAVE button.

Once you have created a new Matching Criteria, this will appear in the Matching criteria list section of the Matching Criteria panel. By clicking on the 3-dot icon at the end of each result, you can Disable, Edit or Delete the Matching Criteria.
The results in the list are related following the rules set in the Matching mode drop down list:

  • Match ANY of the following: all rules must be matched to recognize the model. Matching criteria are related in an OR relationship. This is the default option
  • Match ALL of the following: only one rule is enough to recognize the model. Matching criteria are related in an AND relationship.
