Editing transformations

Transformations are found in the ZIETrans Projects view under Rich Client Content > Transformations.

You can use Window Builder to edit your transformations.

You can use the Palette view in the Window Builder to add new controls to a transformation. Also, you can add ZIETrans-specific controls, such as a ComponentRendering composite. Adding a control from the palette generates Java™ code in the transformation. The generated code references a specific class, as shown in Table 1, based on the selected palette item. The palette items are available in the ZIETrans drawer of the palette:
