View for Recipes
For each recipe in Flow View, you can review or edit its steps or create new recipes altogether. You can also create references to the recipe, modify outputs, and create new recipes off of the recipe.
Recipes in the Canvas
Recipes flagged for review
You can flag a step or steps in a recipe that requires additional review. Whenever you flag steps or a reference dataset for review, the flow view page is highlighted with a warning icon on each recipe and reference dataset node.
Nota
A recipe that has steps flagged for review cannot be executed. Additional limitations are placed on editing the recipe when some steps are flagged. For more information, see Flag for Review.
Actions:
If you hover the mouse over any recipe and click the warning indicator, the corresponding step that has pending for review icon is highlighted in the Details panel.

The Flow View page header summarizes the total number of flagged steps and recipes that are pending for review.

Details options

Edit name and description: (Available to flow owner only) Change the name and description for the object.
Append Join: Add a join step as the new last step to the recipe.

Nota
You can toggle between Assign Target to Recipe and Remove Target to assign a target and to remove the target from the recipe.
Change input: Change the input dataset associated with the recipe.

Suggerimento
You can swap in dynamic datasets for static datasets, if needed.
Make a copy: Create a copy of the recipe and its related objects. You can create the copy with the same inputs or without inputs at all. The copied recipe is owned by the user who copied it.
