Excerpt

As needed, you can flag recipe steps for review in the recipe panel. You can use flags to set up checkpoints in your recipes, which enable flow users to to evaluate the data, provide inputs, and sign off before jobs are executed based on the recipe.

Examples:

  • You could flag steps in recipes within flows that other users may copy. These flags and their related descriptions can be used to provide guidelines for how to implement the step in any copy. 
  • Among your collaborators, you may have experts in specific aspects of the data. You can flag steps for their review, perhaps even including their name in the description value for easy review.

When you flag a step for review:

  • The step is marked for review in the recipe panel.

    Info

    NOTE: A flagged step must be reviewed before you can edit later steps in the recipe or run jobs based on the recipe.

  • In Flow View, the recipe icon is highlighted with a warning.
  • The Flow View page header summarizes the total number of flagged steps and recipes that are pending for review.
  • If you have created a reference dataset, it is also highlighted with a warning wherever it is used. 

Limitations

  • When a step is flagged for review, all downstream steps are disabled.
    • Steps must be reviewed in descending, top-to-bottom order.
  • You cannot run the job until all flagged steps are reviewed.
  • Flags can be applied and cleared one at a time.
  • Undo / Redo options are not applicable to flagged steps.

  • Flag for Review is not supported for the following features: Join, Union, Standardize, Transform by Example, or Macros.
