Use the Configuration tab options to configure the type of cleansing operations that a mapping will perform on the input data. Each instance that you add identifies one or more input fields to which a mapping can apply the cleanse operations. You add instances to configure different cleansing operations for different input fields within a single asset.
The following image shows the cleanse asset options in the
Configuration
tab:
The Configuration tab includes the following options:
Add Instance option.
Adds a cleanse instance to the asset. You can add one or more cleanse instances.
Define one or more input fields in each instance that you add.
Instance panel.
Displays the cleanse instances that you add to the asset. You can edit or delete an instance.
Expand or collapse the instance panel to show or hide the instances that you add. You might collapse the instance panel when you configure a step in an instance, so that the step configuration options are easier to view.
Add Step option.
Adds a step to the asset. A step describes a standardization operation that a mapping can apply to an input data field.
Up and Down options.
Moves a step that you select up or down within the step sequence. The mapping performs standardization operations in the order that you specify.
Step sequence.
Defines the order in which the mapping applies each step to the input field.
Operation options.
Lists the main element in the operation that you define within the step. For example, if you use a dictionary in a step, the list displays the dictionary name.
Test input fields.
Contains the test data that you enter for the instance that you select.
Test output fields.
Contains the result of the test for the instance that you select. The asset displays an output field for each input field that you add to an instance.
Import file option.
Imports data to the test panel.
Step properties.
Displays the configurable properties that you use to define the step.
Dictionary data.
Shows the contents of any dictionary that you select in the step.
