Dataflow Model lifecycle

In their lifecycle, models can have 2 statuses: draft and master.

When created, models are in status draft, i.e. they are not associated with incoming dataflows.

At least one Matching criteria must be created to promote a dataflow model to Master.

Once promoted to Master, a dataflow model can be used to enrich incoming dataflows.

Models in draft status can be edited.
Models in master status cannot be edited.

To edit a Master dataflow model from the Dataflow Models page, click the 3 dots icon on the right and select View Master version. The Master model will be displayed in the Dataflow Modeler. Click the Open Draft Version chip. Apply your changes and click Save. Click Promote as Master to go back to the Dataflow Models page.

Let's look at the Flow Model Lifecycle from creation (draft status) to delivery (master status):

The following menu allows you to manage the Dataflow Model lifecycle:

Save: the model is saved in draft status for further changes.
Promote as Master Version: the model is saved in master status and can no longer be modified.
Open Draft Version: the master model is set to draft and becomes editable. When saving the edited draft version to master, the previous master version will be overwritten.
