Flatten

IMPORTANT

Read more about Data Workbench’s End-of-life announcement.

The Flatten transformation takes a vector of strings and maps each value into its own field.

Parameter Description Default
Name Descriptive name of the transformation. You can enter any name here.
Comments Optional. Notes about the transformation.
Condition The conditions under which this transformation is applied.
Default The default value to use if the condition is met and the input value is not available for the log entry.
Input A vector of string values to map to the output field names.
Outputs A set of output field names.

Considerations for Flatten

  • If the input vector contains more values than there are defined output fields, the extra input values are simply dropped.
  • If the input vector contains fewer values than there are defined output fields, the extra output fields are given the default value (if defined) or an empty string if no default value is defined.

Here, the Flatten transformation is used to take a vector of products (x-products) and separate them into four fields (x-product1, …, x-product4).

If the input value contained the strings B57481, C46355, and Z97123, the output fields would have the values shown here:

  • x-product1 = B57481
  • x-product2 = C46355
  • x-product3 = Z97123
  • x-product4 = Empty (There are more inputs than outputs, and there is no default value specified.)
