Data Preview

The data preview windows are availble in many locations of the Datavault Builder, offering you the unique chance to immediately have a look at the underlying data while developing your data integration flow.
Be aware, that using the data preview can cause high load onto the database. Especially keep this in mind when using the data preview for source tables in the staging area, as these calls are directly sent to the source system!

    • Sort ascending/descending: Allows to sort the data on the database. Multiple column-sortings can be combined by pressing “Shift” while selecting the sorting.

    • Not Null: Allows to ignore rows containing nulls in the data set.

    • Top Occurances: Brings back a complete list of most reoccurring values of the field. Important: As it will return a list of all unique values with count, it is not recommended to apply this function onto large datasets with diversified values.
