Prepare Pipeline

Modeler Prepare has the options for transforming the raw data into report-friendly formats. The pipeline at the bottom of the page shows the history of these transformations. The pipeline itself has useful tools for managing the transforms.

Adding Steps in transformations

Add Step is the node at the end of the pipeline. Add Step adds another transform as the last step in the pipeline.

Canceling transformations

If you are adding a transform, you can click the X icon to cancel the action. This closes the Transforms page and your list of sources are displayed again.



Adding descriptions to transformations

Users can add a description to a transform in the pipleine. Click on a node to open its menu and select Description.



Editing transformations

If you need to edit an existing transformation, click on a node to open its menu and select Edit.

Inserting transformations

In some cases, the order of your transforms is important. You can insert a transform before an existing transform.

For example, you have merged two columns and then discover that you need complete some empty values in one of them. It makes sense to take care of the null handling before doing the merge.

Click on the transform you would like to add the new transformation before and select Insert Transformation Before.

Deleting transformations

To delete a transform, click on its node to open its menu and select Delete. You then need to confirm your deletion by clicking Apply.
