Testing a Data Machine

Every Data Machine created needs to be tested to validate the input parameters and the output being generated. This is especially important for Data Machines built with multiple steps.

Data Machines can be tested during the Final step configuration.

After entering the details required in the Final Step, click on the button titled "Save & Test The Data Machine" if this is the first time it is being created.
