Overview

The transformation flow panel serves two purposes: 

  1. Step configuration: If a step is selected, then this panel is used to configure the details of that step. Multiple tabs with different types of information will be displayed in this panel, however these will vary according to the selected step type. Users can set up the configuration details to define what a step does, and even continue to configure any item multiple times.
  2. Display overall flow details: If no particular selection is made, then details of the transformation flow created in the builder will be displayed, including the flow's run logs, and activity stream.

Users will be able to perform the following actions here.

Rename a field by clicking on its name.

To save the changes, simply click anywhere else.

 

Fields can be excluded from being configured in the flow. Simply remove the check from in front of a field.

Then click on it and drag the field to a new place in the list.

 

Users can directly perform data transformations on a selected field through this tab.

Using the menu on the field, different types of transformations can be made to it.

Note: These options will appear based on the datatype of the field.

Refer to the transformation menu for more information on these inline field transformations.

Once carried out, these transformations will appear within the Transforms tab.

 

 

Transforms

Whenever a new field transformation is applied to the data (either through the menu on the data preview panel or in the fields tab) a new Transformas tab will appear in the step configuration panel. Every transformation is recorded here, so you can always go back and view the changes you’ve made to the content. Here is an example:

 

You can perform the following actions on these.

You can delete any transformation through here. Simply click on the menu icon on the right-side and then on the Delete option.

 

Certain type of transformations can also be edited, but not all. Simply click on the menu icon on the right-side and then on the Edit option. 

Note: Only transformations that open a pop-up can be edited. Menu driven transformations can only be accessed via the data preview panel.
