documentation Association with analytical drivers, what is meant by "the exact URL of the corresponding parameter"

Question

about the Document Details Interface, in the documentation "Association with analytical drivers" we can read 

"Once you have selected the driver, you should write the exact URL of the corresponding parameter. " 

My question is what is meant by exact URL ? 

Is it the name of the parameter you want to set in the data set ?

Our goal is to have an analytic driver that allows to set a period over a query for a REST data set (the parameters are dateFrom & DateTo)

I suppose we are on the right way, but is it possible to have an example linking all together, because at reading documentation it's not so clear.

Thanks in advance for help

Dear alaing,

thank you for your suggestion, as you said documentation should be more clear in this case.

With the term "exact url" we mean that you must keep in mind the name you are choosing for the url because you have to use it for cockpit dataset parameters association.

For example, let's say you have "product_family" as dataset parameter in the case of "foodmart dataset demo" in order to filter a dataset called "store" of products by family type.

Into cockpit document detail you chose "product_family_url" as url name for an analytical driver that you created in order to have "food" and other type of products.

Inside cockpit edit mode -> "source" -> "dataset" view you should map dataset parameter "product_family" with "product_family_url".

OK, thanks @matmassa, I think I have understood, we are checking the things together to see if we have catch correctly.

To my opinion, a schema should better explain, in the documentation, the mechanics of data sets parameters, analytical driver and cockpits together...

Or at least telling that this "Name URL", is used in the mapping between dataset params and cockpit, in cockpit dataset configuration.
