Then select the Transformation Flow option.
You will be taken to the transformation builder.
Hover your cursor over the Input Steps button on the left side to make the panel appear. (Click here to learn more about each of these input steps.)
Then drag an input step from this panel onto the canvas. (For this procedure, we will use the single database table as an example.)
On doing so, a popup will appear, requiring information on the selected data source. (The steps within this popup will differ for each type of input step.)

Part 2: Transformation step connection and configuration
Next, expand the transformation step panel by hovering on its icon in the step builder, and then dragging a transformation step onto the canvas.
A transformation step will appear on the canvas.
Next, create a connection between the input step and the transformation step. Hover over an input step and connecting points will form.
Drag a point and connect it to the transformation step to form a relationship between them. Click here to learn about rules involving connections, and how to break existing connections.
Now you can configure the transformation step. (Each transformation step type will be configured differently. Learn more about how to do that here.)
Note: When a transformation is made to the data, the Transformation tab will appear in the configuration panel.
