Convert

The Convert step transforms data from one shape into another using a pre-configured
mapping. It is the workhorse of most integrations: take what arrived, produce
what the destination expects.

Configuration

Field	Notes
Mapping	The mapping to apply. Its input and output data types determine what this step accepts and produces
Value / Value Type	The data to convert — a literal, a variable, or an earlier step's output
Input Delimiter	The field delimiter of the incoming data, for delimited input
Output Delimiter	The delimiter to write, for delimited output
Entry Offset	How many rows to skip before reading — used to step past a header or preamble
Condition to Apply	Restrict the conversion to records meeting a condition defined on the mapping
Include headers	Write a header row in delimited output
Include empty columns in output	Keep columns that produced no value, rather than dropping them
Write to file	Send the result to the Intely File System instead of carrying it in the run

Output

The converted data, ready for the next step. Mapping inputs appear as their own fields on this
step, so a mapping expecting several inputs is filled in here rather than assembled beforehand.

Notes

Crosswalks, filters and conditions are configured on the mapping, not on this step — see
Mappings and Crosswalks.
Include empty columns matters for fixed-shape deliveries: a partner expecting a stable
column count will reject a file whose columns shift when a value is absent.
