Grouping stages into an embedded flow

An embedded flow groups stages together into a single stage, allowing you to simplify the layout of complex flows and set processing options using field values.

  1. In your flow, add the stages that you want to convert to an embedded flow.
  2. Select the stages you want to convert to an embedded flow by clicking and dragging a box around the stages.

    For example, this would select the Sorter and Transformer stages to convert to an embedded flow.

    Note: Report stages cannot be included in an embedded flow.
  3. Right-click one of the selected stages and select Group into Embedded Dataflow
  4. Enter a name for the embedded flow. The name will be used as the label for the embedded flow stage on the canvas.
  5. Click OK.

The stages you selected are now grouped into an embedded flow. This example shows an embedded flow named SortTansform.
