Construct Analytic Apps or Macros to prompt a user to bypass a process in a workflow

Retrieves data from a specified URL to be used in downstream processing or to be saved to a file.

The Dynamic Input tool reads from an input database at runtime and dynamically chooses what records are read in.

The Dynamic Rename tool renames columns within an input data stream.

The Dynamic Replace tool allows you to quickly replace data field values, based on a condition.
