Predictive Transformation
| Tip |
|---|
Company value: It starts with the user. |
You see an issue in your sampled data. Whether it is part of a value, multiple values in a column, or the entire column itself, you select it. Immediately, the platform surfaces a set of suggestions for you. How would you like to transform this data?

Machine Learning
| Tip |
|---|
Company value: Always be learning. |
As you make selections, the platform's predictions become smarter and better. What you select today with this dataset informs the platform recommendations for transforming tomorrow's dataset.
...
The scale and complexity of these transformations can quickly overwhelm even the most powerful of machines.

Datasets, recipes, and outputs can be grouped together into objects called flows. A flow is a unit of organization in the platform. Depending on your product, flows can be shared between users, scheduled for automated execution, and exported and imported into the platform. In this manner, you can build and test your recipes, chain together sets of datasets and recipes in a flow, share your work with others, and operationalize your production datasets for automated execution.

In addition to the above, the following key features simplify the data prep process and bring enterprise-grade tools for managing your production wrangling efforts.
Visual Profiling
| Tip |
|---|
Company value: Iterate to excellence. |
For individual columns in your dataset, data histograms and data quality information immediately identify potential issues with the column. Select from these color-coded bars, and specific suggestions for transformations are surfaced for you. When you make a selection, you can optionally choose to display only the rows or columns affected by the change.
