Preprocessor step properties
The Preprocessor step does not run for every record in the source data. It runs once, at the
beginning of the extraction workflow, before anything else; see "Preprocessor step" on
page258.
The properties described below become visible in the Step properties pane when the
Preprocessor step is selected in the Steps pane.
Description
This subsection is collapsed by default in the interface, to give more screen space to other
important parts.
Name: The name of the step. This name will be displayed on top of the step's icon in the Steps
pane.
Comments: The text entered here will be displayed in the tooltip that appears when hovering
over the step in the Steps pane.
