  Duration
  1h

  Level
  Introductory

  Learn to create data transformations with the graphical Management Portal interface. See how to map fields, use functions to modify the fields, and use literals as values for the fields. At the end, you will learn how to test and implement the transformation.

  Learning Objectives

  • Explain possible reasons for using a data transformation.
  • Create a data transformation using the wizard in the Management Portal.
  • Describe when you would use two possible values of Create: copy and new.
  • Implement a function to change the value of a field.
  • Assign the value of a target field to a literal value.
  • Explain the difference between if action and switch action, and how to use them in your data transformations.
  • Test a data transformation.

  What's Next?

  In this course, you learned what a data transformation is, how to create a data transformation, and when to use it. You also learned how to integrate many useful actions, such as if actions and switch actions, into your data transformations.

  Continue learning with the following resources:

  • Start building basic HL7 V2 integrations (learning path, 6h 30m).
  • Practice creating a data transformation (exercise, 20m).
  • Read more about developing DTL transformations (documentation).
