Transformations

Overview

The Transformations freature is used to define and manage data transformation objects such as dimensions and fact tables. Each transformation describes how data is processed, historized, and loaded into the data warehouse or star schema.

Function

Transformations define how AnalyticsCreator processes, combines, and prepares data between sources and target structures.
They store the transformation logic in project metadata and can be reused within the data flow and deployment process.

Access

Transformations can be accessed via DWH > Transformations in the main navigation panel. All defined transformations are listed in a searchable grid, and new entries can be created using the Transformation Wizard. Selecting New opens the wizard, which guides the user through defining a transformation step-by-step.
