Auto importers look for a specific file in an FTP server, SFTP server, or an email address. Every 10 minutes Minitab Connect pulls data from that file into a table.
Every 10 minutes, the auto importer looks for the file in the location and pulls in the data if it finds the file.
If you add a trigger, the filename changes. After you add or remove a trigger, use the new filename in the appropriate location. You can also use the Short File Name, which does not change when a trigger is added or removed.
Minitab Model Ops™ provides the ability to use a variety of sophisticated models to make predictions. You can set up a connection so that anytime you add records to a table, Connect sends the new data to Minitab Model Ops. Then Minitab Model Ops generates predictions for the new data and sends the predictions back to Connect. Finally, Connect stores the new predictions in the original table.
You cannot create a connection using mashup tables, SQL tables, or tables that you prep with an aggregate function.
If you do not have a field for each Minitab Model Ops parameters, you can use the Base Tool to add new fields to your table. For more information, go to Common tasks using the Base Tool and select "Add data fields to an existing table".
When you add a new record to the table, Connect sends the data to Minitab Model Ops. Minitab Model Ops generates predictions and sends them back to Connect. Connect stores the new values in the table.
