Overview

The SetPropertyFromTable command sets the value of a property used by the time series processor, using a table cell value. The property will be available to subsequent commands that support using ${Property} notation in parameters, for example to specify filenames more dynamically. This command is useful in cases where iteration is processing data from a table, in which case the property can be used in other commands. Filters are used to match one or more rows. The first matched row is used to set the property.
