Using custom scripts

This guide explains how to use custom scripts in your data table.

Introduction

Using custom scripts in your data table is a way to enrich your data. Use custom scripts to tailor data to your needs. For information on the full list of available custom scripts and their details, see our enrichment reference.

Concept

Enriching your data means transforming and tailoring the data according to your needs. An enrichment is a set of instructions that you specify for Adverity to transform your data.

When you create an enrichment, you add it to the list of available enrichments in the workspace.

When you assign an enrichment to a datastream, each time data is fetched for the datastream, the data is transformed according to the enrichment. The enrichment only has an effect on datastreams to which you assign the enrichment.
