Create and configure a transformation in Jitterbit Integration Studio

Introduction

This page covers creating and configuring a new transformation and accessing the menu options that are available once a transformation is created.

Create a transformation

A new transformation can be created from these locations:

New transformations are created with the default name New Transformation. Subsequent new transformations with default names are appended with an incremented number in parentheses.

Configure a transformation

transformation empty
