Quick Add
Quick Add is the easiest way to add transformers, readers, and writers to the workspace. Click on a blank area on the workspace canvas and press a key on the keyboard. When you press a key (for example, a), a dialog appears on the canvas that contains a list of transformers whose names begin with a number or the letter a.
The Quick Add function also contains a summary help pane to assist with transformer location.
Transformer Parameters
Every transformer contains at least one parameter: the Transformer Name. Most transformers also have additional parameters that you can change to suit your workspace.
