| = Data Grid |
| |
| == Description |
| |
| The Data Grid transform allows you to enter a static list of rows in a grid. This is usually done for testing, reference or demo purposes. |
| |
| == Options |
| |
| [width="90%, options="header"] |
| |=== |
| |Meta tab|specify the field metadata (output specification) of the data |
| |Data Tab|contains the data. Everything is entered in String format so make sure you use the correct format masks in the metadata tab. |
| |=== |
| |
| == Metadata Injection Support |
| All fields of this transform support metadata injection. You can use this transform with ETL Metadata Injection to pass metadata to your pipeline at runtime. |
| |
| == Limitations |
| It is not yet possible to insert columns in between 2 existing one or in general re-order the fields in the metadata tab. |
| |
| If you plan to do this, make sure to copy the data section first to a spreadsheet (Select all rows and copy/paste the whole grid), change the data and copy it back into the data section. |
