Append 

The append operation allows you to append the data from two or more data-sets to create a single data-set.

Options 

• Field selection. Allows you to select the fields from the source data that you want to include in the appended data.
• Source field. Select this option to create an additional field that lists the name of the input data-set each row in the data originated from. For example, if you are appending a series of time-sliced data-sets selecting this option will allow you to track which time-slice each row of data was otained from.

Example

In this example we are appending the data from 3 data-sets together. Each data-set contains spending data from selected days a single month. The first data-set contains data from January, the second contains data from February and the third contains data from March. The expense data is shown below. 

We use an append operation to combine the data from each of these three data-sets. In this example we select all fields and change the name of the Source field to 'Date'. The DataManager configuration for this operation is shown below.
