mpmX Help Documentation

The Data Manager offers an entry point for users who are not yet familiar with the script syntax of mpmX.

 

Here, data transformations can be carried out, new fields can be calculated and master data corrections can be made using the low code approach.

 

You can find a short tutorial on how to use the Data Manager here:

 

DataManager_1

Data Manager

 

First we have to select which data / tables we want to edit. As none are currently selected, we click on "Add Data".

Data_Manager_Start

Data Manager Start

 

Select which source data you require from the standard connectors.

Data Manager New Data

 

Select the table as you need and add it to the Data Manager.

 

DataManager_NewDATA

Data Manager NewData

 

Add as many tables as you need.

Then select the tables you want to transform.

DataManager_THreeTAbles

Data Manager - Three Tables

 

Then select the appropriate action (Concatenate / Outer Join / Inner Join / Left Join / Right Join).

 

DataManager_Table_Transormations

Data Manager - Table Transformation

 

Drag and drop the data fields you want to include in the transformed table. Then click on "Apply"

 

DataManager_TableTransformationView

Data Manager - Table Transformation View

 

Then examine the result of the table transformation.

 

DataMAnager_Table_MetaData

Data Manager - Table - MetaData

 

If you want to add more fields to a table, select them.

 

DataManager_SelectClumn

Data Manager - Select Column

 

You will now land in the table overview and can now calculate new fields using the base table:

 

1. Choose which function you would like to select (string functions, date functions, etc.)

DataManager_ColumnFunctions

2. Select from which fields / columns you want to calculate the new field

DataManager_ColumnSelection

3. Select Logical operators to merge columns

DataManager_ColumnOperations

4. You can then see what your new field looks like in the preview window.

DataManager_ColumnPreview

5. You can also assign a descriptive name and view the generated script.

DataMAnager_ResultingScript_View

 

If the new column matches your expectations, click on Update.

 

You then have the option of viewing the newly calculated field.

 

A value distribution is displayed, which you can use to identify possible outliers or master data errors.

 

You also have the following options

1. "Classify fields or collect them in pots". For example, if you want to create sales classes to identify whether longer throughput times may occur for high invoice amounts

DataManager_ColumnAnalysisView

2. You can set distinct values (e.g. correct spelling mistakes) or set values to zero

DataManager_Ersetzen

3. You can separate fields at any point, for example if they contain special naming conventions (name ID) or similar.

DataManager_Teilen

 

The Data Manager therefore gives you a quick and easy way to manipulate data as you wish.

 

Then use the mpmX Import Wizard (here) to load the prepared data into your mpmX application.
