Settings

Label

 

Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.

Edit JSON

 

Launches the JSON editor which will allow defining JSON. The editor will load an existing JSON document if it was defined previously. The editor lets you save JSON in SnapLogic's file system or import existing JSON documents from it.

Note that this text is treated as an Apache Velocity template, so you can substitute values from input documents or the pipeline parameters. The Apache Velocity template can be used to pass dynamic values from upstream Snaps. See the following URL for more information about Velocity:
https://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html

Process array 

Required. The Process array property specifies whether or not the Component should take a root JSON array and writes each element of the array as a JSON document. 

Example: Selected 

Default value: Selected
