Transforms
Transforms let you materialize repeatable queries into new datasets.
You can:
- Run transforms on-demand
- Schedule transforms with cron
- Use transform outputs as datasets in Explore / Conversations
Where to find Transforms
Navigate to Data → Transforms in the sidebar.
Create a Transform (YAML)
On the Transforms page:
- Click Create to create a single transform via YAML
- Click Apply YAML to apply multiple transforms at once
Save and Transform from Conversations
In a Conversation, the composer has execution modes Ask / Generate / Raw. Click Save to create a transform from the current mode:
- Ask: Saves your natural-language prompt as a
finotransform. - Generate: Saves the generated SQL/QueryDSL from the assistant response.
- Raw: Saves the exact SQL/QueryDSL you authored.
Click Transform to save + execute the transform, then switch the current conversation’s dataset selection to the newly materialized dataset.
