Introduction to the Transformations page#
The Transformations page is where you can create and edit transformations.
A transformation is a set of instructions that defines how to transform your data. Transformations must be assigned to a datastream in order to transform your data.
There are two kinds of transformations:
Adverity’s standard transformations, which are a user-friendly way to create commonly used transformations.
Custom script transformations, which allow you to transform your data using a range of instructions.
After you have created at least one transformation, the Transformations page provides an overview of your transformations.
Use these filters to view your transformations according to different properties. See below for more information about these filters.

The table in the middle of the Transformations page contains important information about your transformation s in the following columns:
Type - the icons in this column show the type of transformation
Name - the name of this transformation
Workspace - the workspace in which this transformation was created
Assignments - the number of datastreams to which this transformation is assigned
The filters above the table allow you to view specific transformation s in the table. You can apply more than one filter at the same time to view specific transformation s:
Workspace - displays all transformations that were created in the selected workspace
Type - displays all transformations of the selected type
You can also use the search bar to search for transformation s by the Name column in the table. You can use the search function with or without filters applied.
