Create tags to upload dataset to Analytics Builder

Hi, 

 

I've created a custom service that creates a dataset using the CreateDataSet service from the Analytics Server Data Thing. I want to add tags so that the dataset will appear in the Analytics Builder. I found this snippet of code that will create a tags info table, but I'm confused as to what the if statement will achieve:

 

var tags = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape({
dataShapeName: "GenericStringList" /* DATASHAPENAME */
});
if (displayInBuilder && datasetName){
    tags.AddRow({ item: "builderdataset" });
     tags.AddRow({ item: "builderdatasetname:" + datasetName.toLowerCase()

});

 

When I try to run this code with my datatsetName, it says that "displayInBuilder" does not exist- is this something I need to define, or is this calling another function/service? 

Thanks!

The reference tags are flags for the Analytics Extensions to know which datashapes are to be used in the Builder Mashup.

 

It should be noted, that if you load a dataset and perform your analysis in Analytics Server via services, you wont be able to work through builder as a validation job is required (part of the Training/Modelling within Builder Mashup Extensions)

 

Can you provide where you got the snippet from, and what your use case is? Typically users will opt to only use the Analytics Services for job processing and results, or use the provided Builder Mashups in the extensions for the charts and UI, not both simultaneously.

 

Regards,
