Creating a custom script transformation using the set_tags instruction

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

  1. Create a custom script transformation.

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

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

Tags*

Click and enter the name of the custom tag to add to the data extract. Click again to add another custom tag.

Add

Click and enter the name of a custom tag to add the tag to an existing set of tags in the data extract.

Remove

Click and enter the name of a custom tag to remove the tag from the data extract.

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 transformation 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 transformation and optionally as the output.
