Selecting a destination

Before running a preparation, you need to configure the run. The first step requires you to select or add the destination dataset.

1. Click the Run button on the top right of the screen to open the parameters panel.
2. Select a destination type from the following options:
   • Existing dataset. Select the dataset you want to export the result of the preparation to from the list.
   • New dataset. Give a name to the new dataset and specify the connection it will be based on.
   • Source dataset. The dataset used as source for the preparation will be updated with the prepared data.

     Here is a list of the connections you can use when selecting Source dataset as the destination:
