Creating data products just got faster and more efficient with Nexla’s new Enhanced Transform Editor now available in the Nexset Designer!
This enhanced transform editing experience brings a faster, more intuitive way to build transformations and visualize your transform rules. Now, you can create no-code transform rules even more efficiently by typing directly into free text fields—making it easier to discover and apply functions, attributes, and other resources as you go.
With new keyboard shortcuts and streamlined navigation, you can also build and test transform rules entirely by keyboard, helping you prepare and move data faster than ever.
⭐ Highlights of Nexla's enhanced transform editor include:
- Faster, more efficient rule building
Just type the output attribute name, add an equals sign, and define your transformation—no clicks required. As you type, helpful dropdowns suggest functions, attributes, and resources to guide your rule creation. - Easily accessible function details
Highlight any function listed in the dropdown to instantly view detailed information about the function as well as any formatting and/or input requirements in a side panel. - Error-tolerant editing
Incomplete or incorrect transform rules are safely saved but are not applied, so your data flow stays running while you fine-tune transformations. Detailed error messages also enable rapid error identification and correction. - Improved readability—even for complex rules
Transform rules are now easier to read and understand in both the Nexset Designer and the Nexset information drawer. Complex rules can be automatically formatted to span multiple lines, making even nested functions easier to follow at a glance. - Switch between editor versions anytime
For users who prefer Nexla's classic transform editor experience, the provided toggle lets you switch between the advanced and classic editor versions with a single click.
This upgrade is all about making transformation creation more intuitive and efficient—so you can spend less time writing rules and more time delivering data products.
