With the help of automations, you no longer have to perform a data processing operation manually, but can have it performed automatically. The variety of data processing operations available - from mathematical calculations to creating links between values in different tables - opens up new possibilities for automating your work processes.

Execute data processing operation via automation

  1. In the Base header, click and then click Automation Rules.
  2. Click Add Rule.
  3. Give the automation a name and specify the table and view in which it should be triggered.
  4. Define a trigger event that triggers the automation.
  5. Click Add Action and select Run Data Processing Operation as the automated action.
  6. Select any data processing operation.
  7. Make the necessary settings (e.g. table, source column, result column) on the data processing operation.
  8. Confirm with Submit.

After you have defined in which table and view the automation should be triggered, you define the trigger event . Currently, only a periodic trigger can result in a data processing operation. Therefore, you need to define a time when the automation should be triggered daily, weekly or monthly.

Selection of the automation trigger for the action: Execute data processing operation.
