Panes
   | Screen fragments presenting Navigator and Outline panes. Navigator is the pane where projects, folders, files, graphs, external metadata or external connections can be managed. Outline pane contains graph elements - internal metadata, internal connections, sequences, parameters, lookup tables. You can see on the pictures how to manage graph metadata or database connections. |
|---|---|
 | Palette with edit tools and components as Readers, Writers, Transformers, Joiners and Other components. |
Component wizards and property editors
  | Screen fragments showing panes with properties of files, graphs or graph elements. Component and metadata properties are displayed here. |
|---|---|
 | Filter editor is a dialog of Filter component where filter expressions are defined. Possible functions and available metadata fields are listed in the left and right box. Content assist comes in handy when typing a filter expression. |
 | Transform editor of Transformer component simplifies mapping of input and output fields by drag'n'drop manner and defining of transformation functions. |
 | Metadata wizard is used when you create metadata from a flat file. You can check parsing of the flat file on the Preview tab and see if defined parsing rules are correct. |
Database dialogs
 | Database connection wizard allows to enter database connection attributes, chose a database driver and validate the defined connection. |
|---|---|
  | Once a database connection is established, you can browse the database structure as well as view its data by typing an SQL command or by simply clicking on the Generate button. Then the data is displayed in a table. |
Logging and tracking
 | Detailed log after running a graph. Each component logs information about processed data, its status etc.. |
|---|---|
 | When you are tracking a running graph, information about number of processed records is displayed next to each edge and icons on components display their status (white triangles in green circles in this screenshot signalize that components are running). Further information on components' status is displayed on the Graph tracking tab. |
