You can add attributes from a source module to your data collection. This also helps improve your forecast results. Attributes are optional.

To add attributes to your data collection:

  1. In the configuration dialog for Set up a data collection, select the Attributes panel.
  2. Select Include attributes data in this data collection.
  3. Beneath Source, select the workspace, model, module and the view that contains the attributes data.

The line items from your attributes module pull automatically into your data collection.

4. If you select Create data collection (bottom right), this triggers the data collection creation. Optionally, you can go back and add related data.
