Dataflow Composer
Combine data and prepare it for the next step.
On this page
Dataflow Composer brings data from several places together into one data set you can use anywhere in the platform. You pick your sources in the designer, tick the fields you want to keep, connect and transform them on the design surface, and run an import that fills the dataflow's own data set.
A dataflow is two things: the design you draw, which you can change at any time, and the data set it produces, which is rebuilt each time you run an import.
For the operations you can place on the design surface, see the the restricted guide.
Use Dataflow Composer when
- data from one or more sources must be combined;
- fields need to be renamed, filtered, converted, or calculated;
- records need to be joined or summarized;
- another component needs a prepared reusable data set.
