Creating a New Attribute Transformation

You can add a regex transformation to an attribute on a dataset.

Navigate to the attribute in the dataset where you wish to add a regex transformation. See Accessing Dataset Attributes.

  1. Select the attribute name. In this example, the activity_state attribute displays "false" in the Transformations column, indicating it has no associated transformations.
  2. Select Add Transformation in Additional Settings in the Update Attribute page.
  3. Provide the following information as needed.
    Name Description
    Regex * Enter the regular expression to be transformed in this Regex field. This field is case insensitive; a letter is not distinguished by using upper and lower case.
    Regex Mapping * Enter how the regular expression should be mapped by Vocera in the Regex Mapping field.
    Active Select the Active checkbox to enable the transformation on the system.
    Note: Failing to check the Active check box will cause the transformation to be ignored.
    Remove Select Remove to delete this transformation from the configuration.
    Re-order Select an up/down arrow icon and drag the transformation to re-order the processing sequence of the active transformations in the system.
  4. Choose Update to complete this step.
    • Update: Save the transformation on the system.
    • Cancel: Return to the attribute list without making a change to the configuration.
  5. A success message displays at the top of the dataset form. The activity_state attribute now displays "true" in the Transformations column.
