Setting up mData searches

mData is an SMS query tool that builds search results based on search input plus response output pairs. You can set up mData searches by location coordinates (location), keyword or search term (non-location), or web service (web).

You can populate the input/output pairs by uploading a CSV file, adding rows, or accessing a web service.

To set up mData searches:

1. Select Text Messaging in the left pane, and then select mData.

   The mData page displays the Active mDatas page.

   

2. Select the Inactive mDatas tab to open the Inactive mDatas table.

   

   If the table is longer than one page, use the page-navigation options on the lower-right to select the number of rows per page and to navigate to the next or previous page.

   Tip: To navigate directly to a specific page, select the page field, enter the page number, and then press ENTER.

From the mDatas page:

• Set up a location-based mData

• Set up a non-location mData

• Set up mData on a web service

• Edit mData searches
