An embedded dataflow groups stages together into a single
stage, allowing you to simplify the layout of complex dataflows and set processing
options using field values.
-
Right-click the icon and select Edit This Embedded
Dataflow.
Tip: Alternatively, you can use the breadcrumb links at the top of
the dataflow to open embedded dataflows. For example, this shows how to open
an embedded dataflow named SortTransform:
When you open an embedded dataflow you will see an Input stage and an Output
stage. These represent the input to the embedded dataflow from the parent
dataflow, and the output to the parent dataflow from the embedded
dataflow.
-
Modify the embedded dataflow as needed.
Note: Dataflow inspection is not available in embedded dataflows.
Any changes you make to an embedded dataflow are saved the next time you save the
parent dataflow.
