NEW DATA PREPARATION MODULE

This new capability enables a certain degree of data manipulation in the self-service process, without asking for a traditional ETL process. The end-user can upload data or use an available data set, and then can easily customize the data structure and contents (group, split and merge data, apply filters, update contents, enrich or classify data, transform a continuous value into a discrete one or mask private data) without using external tools.
