Edit Attributes Transformation: Change the Column Names and Value Formats
In Salesforce Data Pipelines, to make column names more descriptive and apply
consistent formats to column values, use the Edit Attributes transformation in a Data Prep
recipe. You can set the labels and API names of all columns. You can also set the precision and
scale for number columns, character length for text columns, and date formats for date columns.

To create a recipe:
Edit CRM Analytics Dataflows OR Edit Dataset Recipes
In a Transform node of a Data Prep recipe, select the column in the Preview tab.
In the Transform toolbar, click the Edit Attributes button ().
Change the column attributes.
Based on the column datatype, you can set these
attributes.
Attribute
Description
Label
The display label for the column, the one that
appears in charts and dashboards. Column labels can each be up to 255
characters.
API Name
The API name of the column. The column API name
can each be up to 255 characters. The API name must also be unique within
the recipe.
Precision
The maximum number of digits in a numeric
(measure) column. Includes all numbers to the left and to the right of the
decimal point (but excludes the decimal point character). Enter an integer
from 1 through 18, inclusive. If a numeric value exceeds the specified
precision, the value is set to 0 or null, depending on whether null measure
handling is enabled. For example, if precision is set to 5 and null measure
handling is enabled, the numeric value 123456.78 is replaced with null.
Scale
The number of digits to the right of the decimal
point in a numeric column. Enter an integer from 0 through 17, inclusive.
The scale must be less than the precision. For example, if the numeric value
is 123456.789 and you set the scale to 2, the number appears as 123456.78.
Length
The maximum number of characters in a text
(dimension) column. Enter an integer from 1 through 32000, inclusive. The
default length is 255 characters.
Date Format
The date format of a date column.
