Creating Filter Columns Node

Before you define filter columns, you must identify a Data Source node and decide whether to find important attributes. To define Filter Columns:

1. Identify or create the node to filter. The node can be any node that provides a data flow, including Data Source nodes.

2. In the Component pane, expand the Transform section.
   If the Components pane is not open, then go to View and click Components.

3. Click Filter Columns. Move the cursor to the workflow and click again.

4. Connect the Data Source node to the Filter Columns node:

   1. Right-click the Data Source node, and select Connect.

   2. Draw a line to the Filter Columns node and click again.

5. Right-click the filter columns node and click Edit.

6. Right-click the Filter Columns node and click Run. Monitor the running of the node in Workflow Jobs.
   If the Workflow Jobs is not open, then in View, go to Data Miner and click Workflow Jobs.

7. After the running of the node is complete, right-click the Filter Columns node and select View Data to view the results of the filtered columns.

After you examine the hints, you may want to filter out additional columns.
