Advance Scheduling: Set schedules fine-grained at the level of Months, Days, Hours, and Minutes.

Dataset & Name

Dataset Name: Key in the Dataset Name(also serves as the table name in your data warehouse).Keep in mind, that the name should be unique across the account and the data source. Special characters (except underscore _) and blank spaces are not allowed. It is best to follow a consistent naming scheme for future search to locate the tables.
Dataset Description: Enter a short description (optional) describing the dataset being fetched by this particular pipeline.
Notifications: Choose the events for which you’d like to be notified: whether "ERROR ONLY" or "ERROR AND SUCCESS".

Once you have finished click on Finish to save it. Read more about naming and saving your pipelines including the option to save them as templates here
