This document is a walkthrough to create and edit an Ingest Model through the Sprngy UI.

Pre-requisites

Application is created in Admin UI using the Application Configuration screens and entities and relationships are defined.

Ingest Model

An ingest model is used to define rules for processing the entity data. Below are the steps to Create and Edit an Ingest Model from the UI.

Creating an Ingest Model

Home Screen

The image below is the Home screen of the UI. From the side menu open ‘Meta Data Configuration' option, then select 'Ingest Model’ option.

Step 1

After clicking on the Ingest Model menu option below screen will be displayed.

To create a new Ingest Model, select the required Module name and Entity name from the drop down and click 'Submit'.

Alternatively, using the Upload box, ingest model (in csv) format can be uploaded for the selected entity.

This checks the existence of a ingest model. If there is a previously created or even initiated ingest model then it will bring back that data, if creating ingest model for the very first time then provides blank fields for input.

Step 2

After submission, the below screen will be rendered. Here you can provide information regarding the ingest model for given entity.

This two step form takes information such as entity description and business owner, data owner and IT owner information working on this entity. Once done click on Submit.

After these details have been filled out, you can hit on “Back” to go to “Step 1” or if you are done filling out the details you can hit on “Submit”.

Step 3

On submit, you will get a form with actions to be taken while processing data. It consist of a list of questions such as ways of reading data, remove nulls from dataset, impute the nulls with default value and so on.

After filling the details, click on 'Submit'. This would save the ingest model details.

Editing an Ingest Model

Editing a Ingest model has similar steps to creating a Ingest Model. From the side menu open ‘Meta Data Configuration' option, then select 'Ingest Model’ option.

Step 1

After clicking on the Ingest Model menu option below screen will be displayed.

Here select the module and entity of which ingest model you need to update and click on submit button.

This will load the information you previously stored for that module and entity. First of all there is the entity owner information that you can update. After that there will the form describing the rules to be applied while processing data.

Step 2

On Submitting the owner information, below screen will be loaded.

Here, the rules can be updated as required and the click on 'Submit'. This will save the changes made to the ingest model.
