Edit XSL Transformations
Use to define a transformation.
Transformations enable you to define how to map the arguments of an implementation to the data objects in the project. You can configure the transformation to modify the values before assigning them to the transformation target. You can also map the value of multiple output arguments to a single data object, or multiple data objects to a single input argument.
You can define a transformation for each of the input and output arguments in a flow object.
You can use transformations simultaneously with data associations but you must ensure that they are not applied over the same arguments and data objects. For example if you decide to assign the value of an input argument to the approvalQuoteOutcome data object using a data association, then you cannot map that same input argument using data associations.
You might also use transformations without using data associations, as an alternative way of mapping the value of input and output arguments to data objects.
