Once a project has been created, a version of the project that reflects the transaction data for the desired time period will need to be created. When selecting the ‘Create Project Version’ menu item, a screen displaying all project versions created by users within the system is displayed. (Often in various stages of processing)
The information contained in the main display table is as follows:
- Project ID
- Project Name
- Clustering Version ID
- Period
- Request By
- Created Date
- Model Details
- Status
Status display consists of:
- In Queue
- Data Format Validation
- Data Preparation
- Data Processing
- Clustering
The user may use the set of available filters to call up a specific project or projects by Project Name and/or Status and/or Project Creation Date.
Errors in the processing are highlighted by a red cross, which when clicked will display a dialog box as shown below.
Clicking Rerun will often allow the algorithm to fix the data and proceed.
Common failures include:
- Column naming errors – Rectifiable by the algorithm
- Data removal by the cleanser – Any removed “Noise” is downloadable to view.
- Insufficient data – The product group/time selection does not provide enough data points for the algorithm to produce a suitable outcome. Increase the time selection and/or the product group selection.
