When you want to edit a recipe, you need to go to the Transformer view and the data sample is loaded when it opens. This may take some time depending on the size of your data. If you have some quick edits to make that do not require you to have a look at the data, you might want to skip the loading of the sample to save some time.
The Edit Recipe without DataGrid feature gives you an option to launch the Transformer page with the DataGrid disabled. This feature enables you to edit recipe steps without waiting for the sample to load.
This feature can be enabled or disabled by an administrator. For more information, see Workspace Settings Page or the Dataprep Project Settings Page.
Steps
In the Flow view, select your recipe, and then select Edit recipe without DataGrid from the context menu on the right.
The Transformer then opens without the data displayed, while the editable recipe loads in the Recipe panel.
You can select the Edit with datagrid button at any time to load the sample.
Usage
This feature can be helpful when you know the edits that need to be performed and do not need sample data to perform the revisions. You can also use it to switch the active sample without loading it.
The data grid can be enabled whenever you deem it necessary. The grid state will then reflect the edits that were committed during the DataGrid disabled state.
When enabled, you can perform edits in the Transformer page without loading a sample in the data grid.
When the data grid is enabled, you can choose to disable the column histograms in the data grid, which can improve performance.
When the data grid is disabled, the Show column histogram option is not available. To use it, you must first enable the Edit with data grid option.
When the data grid is disabled, you may not be able to edit some recipe steps. For steps that you can edit, select Preview to see the effects of the step on the data. When you select Preview, the data grid is re-enabled.
