AttributeRenamer
Typical Uses
- Change the name of an existing attribute
How does it work?
Blank rows are provided where you can select attributes to rename and enter the new names.. One or more pairs can be added, and all features that pass through the transformer are modified according to these selections. The values of the attributes are not changed, and you can optionally provide default values to be applied to the output where input values are missing.
Examples
Usage Notes
- Consider using the AttributeManager instead
- To rename groups of attributes using prefixes, suffixes, and patterns, consider using the BulkAttributeRenamer
- The AttributeRenamer can be used for simple renaming of list attributes

Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
Defining Values
There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.
Dialog Options - Tables
Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
