A transformation view is a view of a source dataset in the format required to push the dataset to a model. Create a transformation view before you push the dataset to a model. 

You can create a transformation view with either a source dataset or a derived dataset. Source datasets are datasets that are created when you extract data from a connection. Derived datasets are datasets that are the result of transformation views.

To create a transformation view:

  1. Select Data Orchestrator from the top-left navigation menu.
  2. Select either Transformation views or Source data from the left-side panel:
    • If you select Transformation views, select Create view.
    • If you select Source data, select the ellipsis to the right of the source dataset, and then select Create transformation view.
  3. On the Create transformation view page, enter these details and select Next:
    • Name
    • Description
  4. On the Choose a dataset page, select a dataset and select Next.
    You can select a source dataset or a derived dataset .
    If you can't find a dataset, enter a search term in the Find... field.
  5. On the Source columns page:
    1. Select the columns you want to add to your view.
      The columns you select display in the Output columns pane.
    2. In the Output columns pane, you can rename the columns.
