Especificación técnica
When you run the Date Entries analytic test, the following steps are performed to run the test:
-
If needed place any filters on the data in order that a subset is used for the analysis. If no filter is placed, the analysis will be run on the entire data file. This step can also be performed as the last step instead of the first. Note that the ability to set filters is not currently available and will be available in later versions of the test.
-
Validate that the necessary reference fields have been selected. If fields have not been selected, then create a unique reference field. This step is only performed if specific fields have been selected. If all the fields are available, this step is not necessary.

Obtain which configuration of the test will be performed:
-
Look for transactions around a certain date.
-
Look for transactions within a date range.
