Data transformers

In this widget, you will find the data transformers configured for your organization.

How it Works

In the browser, you will find a list of data transformers along with the available actions for each, based on the permissions you have.

Next to the name, you can find the version and the last update date of the transformer. Just below that, the identifier and any files that have been attached as dependencies will be displayed.

From the action menu of the widget, you can perform the following:

Data Transformers: Allows you to execute the wizard for creating data transformers (provided you have the necessary permissions).
Capture screen: Takes a screenshot of the widget.
Duplicate widget: Creates a duplicate of the widget on the dashboard.
Copy widget: Copies the widget to another dashboard.
Change widget location: Moves the widget to another dashboard.

Organization Selector

A user can manage the data transformers for those organizations that are dependent on the user’s own organization. To switch between organizations, you must select it from the selector available at the top of the widget.

Test Tool

The test tool allows you to test the selected transformer without having to insert it into a processing pipeline and without sending data from devices.
