In this guide¶
-
IMan v6.1 New Features
-
The key concepts you need to transform data in IMan
-
Logging in to IMan and finding your way around the interface
-
First steps in the IMan Design tab
-
The Transform Setup screen, which opens when you drag a transform from the palette onto the design surface and double-click it
-
The seven transforms — Hierarchy, Flatten, Translate, Sort, Filter, Aggregate and Map — and whether each works on the shape of the data, on whole records or on individual fields
-
The full list of IMan readers, which read data from files, databases and other applications

IO controllers connect a reader or writer to wherever its data lives — a file, a database, a URL, a mailbox, a WebAPI request or a field
-
Connecting IMan to applications such as CRMs, ERPs, accounting systems, cloud services and eCommerce platforms
-
The eight writers — CSV, Database, Excel, Fixed Width Text, Form URL, JSON, Http Redirect and XML — what each is for, and where each can write to
-
Tasks perform supporting actions, such as moving files or sending email. Most run at the start or end of an integration, but you can place one anywhere in it
-

-
The Setup tab holds the connections, lookups, webservice authentication and other items your integrations depend on
-
A reference for the VBScript functions you can use in IMan formulas
