Copy/Paste Step: To copy a step, right-click on it and select Copy Step or use the
button in the Toolbar. If the step is Repeat or Condition, all steps under it will also be
placed in the clipboard. To paste the copied step at its destination, right-click the step in
the position before the desired location and select Paste Step, or use the button in the
Toolbar.
Step properties pane
The Step Properties pane is used to adjust the properties of each Step in the process (see
"Steps" on page246).
The pane is divided in a few subsections depending on the Step and the data type. It always
contains a subsection to name and document the selected Step. Other subsections allow you to
edit or delete fields that belong to the Step (see "Fields" on page263) or change the expected
data format (see "Data Format" on page338), for example.
Note
Step properties may also depend on the data sample's file type.

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246.
The properties described below become visible in the Step properties pane when the
Preprocessor step is selected in the Steps pane.
