Overview

Snaps are the building blocks of

...

a pipeline. Each Snap

...

performs a single function, such as read,

...

parse, transform or

...

write data.

...

 You can view the Snaps available to you (or your account) in

...

the Snap Catalog, on the left-hand side of the SnapLogic Designer.

...

 You can drag a Snap from

...

the Snap Catalog on

...

to the Canvas to use it in a Pipeline.

By default, the Snap

...

Catalog contains a set of core

...

Snaps available to all users. You can add premium or custom Snaps by installing them in Manager on the project-level Snap Packs page.
