At the top of the data grid and the column browser, the Transformer toolbar provides quick access to common transformations. When a tool is selected from one of the drop-downs in the toolbar, a new step is inserted into the current location in your recipe with some parameters pre-specified for you. You can then finish specifying the parameters of the transformation in the Transform Builder.
