Configure a Materialize Action

Add a Materialize action to copy container data from a source datastore to the enrichment destination automatically whenever the Flow's trigger activates.

Permission Required

You need the Manager role to edit and publish Flows. See Flow Permissions for details.

Initialized datastores connected to an enrichment destination only

The Datastore dropdown only lists source datastores that are initialized and have an enrichment destination connected. A source datastore becomes initialized after successful Sync, Profile, and Scan runs. An enrichment datastore becomes initialized after Sync and Profile.

Field reference

The Materialize Settings panel shows the following fields. They mirror the options of running the operation directly on the datastore.

Select the datastore first

The sections below live in the Operation Configuration stepper and stay disabled until a Datastore is selected. For DFS datastores, the Select step lists File Patterns instead of Tables.

Field	Required	Type	Description
Datastore		Option	The source datastore to materialize data from.

Select Containers

Choose which containers the materialize covers. The UI identifies them as tables for JDBC datastores and file patterns for DFS datastores. Picking one of the options is required to move to the next step, and All is preselected.

Option	Description
All	Materializes every container, including ones created after the action is saved.
Specific	Materializes only the containers you pick from the list.
Tag	Automatically materializes the containers associated with the selected tags.

Read Settings

Field	Required	Type	Description
Record Limit		Number	The maximum number of records to materialize per container. Pick a preset (1M, 10M, 100M, or All) or type a custom value from 1 to 1,000,000,000. Defaults to All, which sets no limit.
Reveal Masked Values		Checkbox	Materializes masked field values as plain text.
