Multidim JSON to Schema

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 step allows the user to parse JSON to the schema as a table with columns and values. Unlike the Unwrap JSON to Schema step, the needed columns should be created beforehand in the schema with same names as the name of the fields in JSON.

 

The example of this data manipulation can be seen in the table below:

 

Source Column (JSON Format) Updated Schema

{"id": 1,

"first_name":"Alli", }

 

{"id":2,

"first_name":"Clyde", }

ID First Name
1 Alli
2 Clyde

 

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.
