Modeler Prepare

On the Prepare page, you can make additional modifications and transformations to the data. Transformations are familiar and straight-forward, such as splitting or merging columns, filling in empty cells, and so on. Complete descriptions of the modifications are in Transformations.

Modeler has the concept of a "prepared source", that is a view of the data, based on the raw source, that Birst updates on a regular basis, so that your reports and dashboards are always up-to-date.

You can create multiple prepared sources from the "raw" or base sources that you extracted in the Modeler Connect. If you to need merge tables from multiple raw sources, you can. Prepared sources are an efficient way to manage your report data, especially when you have different uses for the same tables.
