Data Preparation Workflow

Versioning and restoration

Versioning and restoration are part of the Data Flow screen (the designer): under Options, you download the flow template (Dattos .XDTT file) and restore a preparation from a saved file. This way, you reuse the logic of a previously created flow, recover templates, and move settings from one environment to another instead of building everything from scratch.

Before you begin

Restoration starts from a file in Dattos .XDTT format, which carries the structure of a flow. You obtain it via the Download Template option in the designer or receive it from another environment. Importing only accepts .XDTT files with a maximum size of 10 MB.

It is also worth knowing the statuses the preparation goes through during the process:

  • Pending: Immediately after starting the restoration and inserting the .XDTT file, a new preparation is created with this status and remains so until you finish filling out the Preparation Configuration screen.

  • Restoring: From the end of the form filling until the restoration loading is complete.

  • Active: Upon completion of the loading, the preparation is restored and ready for use.

  • Inactive: Displayed when a preparation is inactivated.

Importing the .XDTT file

There are two ways to load the file you want to restore:

  • Import File: Opens the file explorer for you to select the file.

  • Drag and drop: Drag the file directly onto the screen.

Import validation: Only files with the .XDTT extension and a maximum size of 10 MB are accepted.

Configuring the restored preparation

Once the loading is complete, with the preparation in Pending status, the registration screen opens for you to define the information for the restored flow.

Under Information:

  • Name: Editable field for the name of the new preparation. By suggestion, it comes pre-filled with the original file name plus "_New".

  • Code: Editable field for the code of the new preparation. By suggestion, it comes pre-filled with the original code plus "-1".

Code is permanent: The Code field does not accept an existing code and, after continuing with the restoration, it can no longer be changed.

In User groups, specify which User Groups (Privacy Profiles) will have permission to edit the data preparation.

Tip: You create or edit profiles for different user groups in the "Privacy Profiles" configuration menu.

In Folders, specify one or more folders that the preparation will be associated with and where it can be executed by users.

Complete the restoration

After filling in the fields, click Next. The platform displays the progress of the restoration and the data sample. Upon completion, you are directed to the preparation's Designer screen and the status changes to Active.

Check the flow in the designer and make any necessary adjustments.

Done: Your Data Preparation has been restored and is available for use and execution.
