reorder

Reorder the columns in a data extract.

Introduction

Use the reorder instruction to reorder the columns in your data extract. Any columns names you do not include in the enrichment are kept in their original position.

Creating a custom script enrichment using the reorder instruction

To create and configure a custom script using the reorder instruction, follow these steps:

1. Create a custom script enrichment.

2. In the Instructions step, select the reorder instruction.

3. To configure the custom script instruction, fill in the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Fields*

Click Add and enter the name of the column to be reordered. The order in which you enter the column names are the order in which they are reordered.

Subtable

Enter the name for a subtable that you want to use within this custom script.

A subtable is a temporary table that only exists for this custom script. You can apply additional instructions within the same custom script to the subtable. However, the subtable cannot be used in any other custom scripts.

If a subtable does not exist for the current custom script, the enrichment is applied to the data extract, and the enriched data is output into the subtable. If the subtable already exists for the custom script, the subtable is used as the input for the enrichment and optionally as the output.
