Implemented in v.2.9.0

Output Tweaks

Currently, if you need to manipulate data in Loadit, then you need to add a module to your package to perform the manipulation.
Sometimes, if the manipulation is quite trivial, this can feel like overkill.
For example, if you want to rename a column then you need to add an Adjust Columns module to do this.
For simple manipulations like this, it would be cleaner if there was somewhere you could define a “tweak” to apply in-situ.

From Loadit 2.9, it will be possible to do just this.
When you right-click a module, you will see a new “Output Tweaks” menu item:

OutputTweaks_MenuItem

If you click on this menu item, you will see a dialog that allowing you to specify the output tweak(s) you want:

LoggingConfig

When a module has output tweaks applied, you will see a set of cogs displayed underneath the module in the designer:

OutputTweaks_Icin

In the spirit of Loadit extensibility, you will be able to create your own Output Tweaks easily.
So, if there’s a particular tweak you need that Loadit doesn’t provide “out of the box” then you can create your own instead.
