Transforming data in Adverity

What are transformations?

An transformation is a set of instructions that defines how to transform your data.

How do I use transformations?

Create a transformation, then assign your transformation to a datastream. After the transformation is assigned to a datastream, every time you fetch data using the datastream, the collected data is transformed according to the instructions in the transformation.

What kinds of transformations are available in Adverity?

There are two basic types of transformations:

• Custom script transformations

  These give you maximal freedom to transform your data using a range of custom script instructions. For information about creating custom script transformations, see Using custom script transformations. For a list of all the instructions you can use in a custom script transformation, see Custom scripts available in Adverity.
