MLDataDefinition

Represents a modeling data definition, which specifies the data used to create a model. Such data can include filters, fields to include, fields to exclude, and so on. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

File Suffix and Directory Location

MLDataDefinition components have the suffix .mlDataDefinition and are stored in the mlDataDefinitions folder.

Version

MLDataDefinition is available in API version 50.0 and later.

Fields

Field Name	Field Type	Description
developerName	string	Required. Represents the name of the data definition. Can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. Only users with View DeveloperName OR View Setup and Configuration permission can view, group, sort, and filter this field. Note
entityDeveloperName	string	Required. The developer name of the object from which the model data is retrieved. After the MLDataDefinition entity is created, entityDeveloperName can’t be updated. Note
excludedFields	string[]	Fields that are excluded from the model.
includedFields	string[]	Fields that are included in the model.
joinFields	MLField[]	Reserved for future use.
parentDefinitionDevName	string	Reserved for future use.
scoringFilter	MLFilter	Specifies records to which the prediction scores are written.
segmentFilter	MLFilter	This field further filters data used in training and scoring when segmentFilter is combined with both scoringFilter and trainingFilter. For example, select all records in a specific region.
trainingFilter	MLFilter	Specifies the records that make up the training set.
type	MLDataDefinitionType (enumeration of type string)	Required. Valid values are: `Candidate` `Interaction` `Prediction` `Recipient` After the model is created, type can’t be updated. Note

MLField

Represents a single field in the data definition. Available in API version 50.0 and later.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
entity	string	Required. The object that contains the field.
field	string	Required. The name of the field.
relatedField	MLField	Reserved for future use.
relationType	MLRelationType (enumeration of type string)	Reserved for future use. Valid values are: `Full` `Inner` `Leftinner` `Leftouter`
type	MLFieldType (enumeration of type string)	Required. How the field is used in a prediction. Valid values are: `Excluded` `Expression` `Included` `Join` `Prediction` `Pushback` `Related`

MLFilter

Represents a data filter based on a data comparison. For each comparison, there’s a left-hand element, an operator, and a right-hand element. For each record, only one of these left-hand elements is populated: lhFilter, lhPredictionField, or lhValue. Similarly, for each record, only one of these right-hand elements is populated: rhFilter, rhPredictionField, or rhValue. Available in API version 50.0 and later.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
filterName	string	Required. Name of the filter.
lhFilter	MLFilter	Left-hand filter condition.
lhPredictionField	string	Left-hand prediction field.
lhType	AIValueType (enumeration of type string)	The value type if a left-hand value is specified. Valid values are: `Boolean` `Comparison` `Currency` `Date` `DateTime` `Number` `String` `Supplier` `Varchar`
lhUnit	AIFilterUnit (enumeration of type string)	The unit if a left-hand filter is specified. Valid values are: `Milliseconds` `Seconds` `Minutes` `Hours` `Days` `Weeks` `Months` `Years`
lhValue	string	The left-hand value.
operation	AIFilterOperation (enumeration of type string)	Required. Valid values are: `And` `Or` `Not` `LessThan` `LessThanOrEqual` `GreaterThan` `GreaterThanOrEqual` `Equals` `NotEquals` `Add` `Subtract` `Multiply` `Divide` `IsNull` `IsNotNull` `StartsWith` `EndsWith` `Contains` `Concat` `DoesNotContain` `Between` `In`
rhFilter	MLFilter	Right-hand filter condition.
rhPredictionField	string	Right-hand prediction field.
rhType	AIValueType (enumeration of type string)	The value type if a right-hand value is specified. Valid values are: `Boolean` `Comparison` `Currency` `Date` `DateTime` `Number` `String` `Supplier` `Varchar`
rhUnit	AIFilterUnit (enumeration of type string)	The unit if a right-hand filter is specified. Valid values are: `Milliseconds` `Seconds` `Minutes` `Hours` `Days` `Weeks` `Months` `Years`
rhValue	string	The right-hand value.
sortOrder	int	Specifies the order of operations for evaluating the expressions. For example, if you have two conditions, this field specifies which condition is evaluated first.
