You can freely change the mapping by re-connecting the lines to the connection
points.
Note After you apply a transformation rule to an IN.attribute, the mapping line
between the IN.attribute and the OUT.attribute will no longer be displayed.
Simulating the Data Calculator
The Data Calculator is designed to visualize the changes applied to the data as
it moves through the transformation rules. This is particularly useful to answer
the question on how a change of a transformation rule would affect the
outgoing data. Depending on status of the Auto-Synchronization button, a
transformation rule will be immediately applied to the entire set of IN-Port
records after the rule had been entered.
