If a data model must be associated with the search pattern (to get extra settings or give specific data to the user code), select it from the drop down list.

To set or change the parameters (interface) of the data model, use the button.

For example, a pattern might represent an holding procedure. User can then create a data model named HoldingProc with all kind of data some other components or logics might need to process. Using the data model attachment capability, user will be able to specialize any search pattern of his scenario.
