Both quick transforms and custom transforms follow the same basic
flow.
The high-level process:
- From the attribute menu,
select the transformation that you want to apply. If the transformation does
not require any configuration, then it is added immediately to the
transformation script. When you commit the script to the project, the
transformed values overwrite the original attribute values. If the
transformation does require configuration, then the
Transform Editor displays.
- On the
Transform Editor panel, provide the
transformation-specific configuration.
- Determine the target
attribute for the transformed values. Some transformations require that you use
the transformation to create a new attribute. In this case, in the
New Attribute Name field, type the name for the
new attribute.
Other transformations allow you to choose whether to create a new
attribute, or use the transformed values to overwrite the current attribute.
- The default option is to
create a new attribute. In the
New Attribute Name field, type the name for
the new attribute.
- To instead overwrite the
current attribute, click the
Apply to existing attribute.
- To display the effect of the
transformation on the
Transform data grid, click
Preview.
- To add the transformation to
the transformation script, click
Add to Script.
