Object groups

Overview

Object groups are used to organize objects such as sources, tables, and transformations into reusable groups. They help structure the dataflow diagram and support group-based filtering and workflow control.

Function

The Object groups feature is used to assign objects to groups and work with group membership in the dataflow diagram.

Object groups can be used to display only the objects belonging to a specific group and to enable or disable objects in the workflow based on their group membership.

Access

Object groups are available in the dataflow diagram through the object context menu and the Group dropdown in the menu bar.
