A preview can be used to show a preview of your selection's output data.
Drag a preview block to the worksheet. Connect the preview block to one or more selection blocks.
You can preview only if the selection has been saved.
Dou can double-click on the snapshot block to open the settings.
On the left side, the preview is shown. On the right side you will find the settings.
The settings screen for the Preview block contains the following tab.

Mapping
Select what data you want to include and in what order it should be shown in the preview
Mapping
All the fields you want to use in the preview should be selected in this tab.
On the '+' icon you will find a list of all available entities. Under coding there is a default dataset related to the campaign/selection (e.g. TID, selection code, campaign code, run date, etc.).
In addition to the available fields in the database, it is also possible to add fields with a fixed text value. Click on the 'Fixed Values +' field to add a text field with a fixed value. Both the header and value of the field must be specified.
As a first step, select the desired field(s) to include in the snapshot. Use the '+' icon in the upper right corner of the screen to add one or more fields to the mapping.
Please note that selecting an entity type in the search screen will select all (underlying) entities at once (up to 25 fields at a time).
In very specific cases, it is possible that two email address fields are used in one entity. In the case where one of them has the name e-mail and you want to use the other one, the field 'e-mail' must be renamed.
Rename/Add columns
After adding an item, it is possible to customize the column header in the preview. The column names can be changed by clicking on the item.
