Replace

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

 

This algorithm allows you to replace all occurrences of specified values within a schema.

 

For example, if the source application lists the subsidiary as a text field, and the target application assigns ID numbers to each subsidiary location, you can set the Replace step, so the result would be as follows:

 

Source Column Target Column
New York 4
Boston 5

 

This type of step is useful when it is necessary to replace a handful of values. For larger quantities of data, it is recommended that you employ a different type of step.

 

To configure this manipulate step, follow the instructions below:

 

  1. In the specific Interface work area, press the downward button next to the task and press the ‘+’ (plus sign) button.
