The Data Transformation Menu

The Transformation List is the central screen for finding, creating, editing, running, and managing transformations. This page explains how to navigate the list and what actions are available.

Prerequisites

  • Configuration-level access or membership of a user group with transformation management permissions
  • Familiarity with the Transformations Overview

Accessing the Transformation List

Navigate to Admin > Transformations to view the full list of transformations:

TODO Screenshot: ClickMenu "Transformations" | PrintScreen "config-transforms-menu"

The screen is divided into two areas:

  • Left panel -- a tree that groups transformations by type (e.g., Data Import, Integration, Scheduled, Triggers). Click a node to filter the list to that category.
  • Main panel -- the list of transformations matching the current filter, with a search box above for finding a specific transformation by name.

Available Actions

From this screen you can perform the following actions:

Action How
Create a new transformation Click the New button or choose "New Transformation" from the Transformations menu above the list
Clone an existing transformation Select a transformation and click Clone, or choose "Clone Transformation" from the menu
Edit a transformation Click a transformation description, or select it and click Edit (see Editing a Transformation)
Delete a transformation Select a transformation and click Delete. System-layer transformations cannot be deleted.
Run a transformation Select a transformation and choose "Run" to execute it immediately, or "Queue" to run it in the background via the batch processor
View batch history Click "Recent and Running Batch Jobs" in the menu to see the status and output of recently executed transformations

Searching and Filtering

The search box above the list supports partial name matching. Type part of a transformation name and the list filters in real time. You can also use the column headers to sort and filter the list by any visible column.

Tip: System transformations appear with a lock icon. If you need to modify one, create an override (see Layers and Overrides) rather than attempting to edit it directly.
