    Parameter

    Description

    Step Name

    The name of the field selection transform component. Dataphin automatically generates a step name, but you can modify it based on your business scenario. The name must meet the following requirements:

    • It can contain only Chinese characters, letters, underscores (_), and numbers.

    • It can be up to 64 characters in length.

    Input Fields

    Displays the input fields based on the output of the upstream component.

    Output Fields

    Displays the output fields. Click Field Management:

    • Click the gaagag icon to move Selected Input Fields to Unselected Input Fields.

    • Click the agfag icon to move Unselected Input Fields to Selected Input Fields.

    After the input fields are selected, the Output Fields area displays the following information:

    • Serial Number: The ordinal number of the corresponding input field.

    • Input Field Name, Input Field Type: The name (if the name includes a table name, the table name is also displayed) and type of the input field. These cannot be modified.

    • Output Field Name: The editable output field name, which defaults to the input field name. If the name includes a table name, it is displayed in the format table_name.field_name. If the field name is empty, it is automatically filled with the input field name.

    • Output Field Type: Supports conversion to different data types based on the input field's data type. For specific details, refer to the actual page display.

    • Actions: Click the delete icon in the Actionsagfag column to delete an existing field.
