Filters can be used for specifying the (complex) conditions of a transformation of a mapping.

Filter Definition Workflow

A prerequisite for creating a filter is a mapping that can be selected in the transformation logic widget (lower middle).

In order to create a filter, select the mapping for which you want to define a filter rule (1).
Click on the input attribute path on the left in the transformation logic pipeline (2).

A lightbox will open:

In the lightbox on the left, a sample recordset lets you test the filter rule you are going to define.
Click on “add filter” (1) and enter your filter rule in the form next to the sample record.
As you type (2) your rule is tested with the sample recordset. If there is a match, the respective record is marked red (3).
Add further filter rules as needed by clicking on “add filter”.
The rules in one filter set are combined by a logical AND.
Click on “OK” to save and quit the filter lightbox (5).

Note: These restrictions apply in the alpha release:

Filters can only be used for fields on the level as the field that is being mapped. In our example, you can map the elements type, nr, and ind, but not, for instance, value, which is on a sublevel (4).
You can change filter rules, but you cannot delete a filter rule. You can, however, accomplish a ‘deletion’ of a rule by emptying all fields.
You cannot select a specific record set from the sample data.
