# Create a Dataflow Set

### Create a Dataflow Set

To create a new Dataflow Set, click on the **Plus** icon in the Sets overview on the [**Term Mapping overview**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-term-mapping-overview?hsLang=en) page:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-29-2024-10-00-02-8000-AM.png?width=177&height=152&name=image-png-Feb-29-2024-10-00-02-8000-AM.png)

The **Create new Set** side panel window is opened:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2023-02-07-08-1037-PM.png?width=564&height=539&name=image-png-Apr-12-2023-02-07-08-1037-PM.png)

Fill in the following information:

1. **Name**: Dataflow Set's name
2. **Description** (*optional*): The Dataflow Set's description
3. **Alias** (*optional*): Dataflow Set's alias
4. **Select Dataflow** (*optional or mandatory*): Dataflow Set's Dataflow 
     1. If you create the **first Dataflow Set**, the first Dataflow will be automatically created, so you **cannot choose** one.
     2. Else, it would be best if you **chose** between the existing Dataflows, for example:  
        ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2023-02-11-56-7146-PM.png)
5. **Set Operator** (*optional or mandatory*): Set Operator between the new Dataflow Set and the next one. 
     1. If you create the **first Dataflow Set** in a Dataflow, you **cannot choose** a Set Operator.
     2. Else, it would be best if you **chose** a Set Operator, for example:  
        ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2023-02-13-43-2866-PM.png)
6. **Where Clause** (o*ptional*): Where Clause to apply to the complete Dataflow.   
   ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-05-2024-08-46-53-1620-AM.png?width=655&height=48&name=image-png-Feb-05-2024-08-46-53-1620-AM.png)
7. **Having Clause** (*optional*): Having Clause to apply to the complete Dataflow.   
   ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-05-2024-08-47-17-1705-AM.png?width=688&height=42&name=image-png-Feb-05-2024-08-47-17-1705-AM.png)

An IntelliSense editor is available for the Where and Having Clauses. It is based on:

-  The source terms of the Dataflow Objects:

- The target technology language - here, SQL:

Click on the **SAVE** button.

A notification confirms the correct creation:

The new **Dataflow Set** is now visible:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2023-02-22-36-7975-PM.png)

You can now start to [**add model objects**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/add-a-model-object-into-a-data-flow-set?hsLang=en) in the **Dataflow Set**.

Starting from Generator Configurations release 1.8.0, it is possible to let a Dataflow Set without any Dataflow Set Model Object.

This is to be able to create one record with constant values.
