Normalizers

Overview

Normalizers are the actions performed on the fields based on the operations they are associated with.

These are used to link the Operations with the fields. Every normalizer can contain more than one operation.

There are two types of Work context for normalizers:

  • Search - the normalizer doesn’t change the field data, instead enables searches for various units of measure
  • Indexing - the normalizer modifies the data during indexing time and converts all length formats into the format mentioned in the associated operation

To add a normalizer

Goto Workbench → Measurement Conversion → Normalizers and click the Add Normalizer button. You will see this screen:

Enter the details of the normalizer and choose the Work Context from the dropdown list.

Click on the Add Operation button

A modal dialog is displayed.

On this dialog, either choose from a template using the dropdown list or add a new operator:

Click the Add button on the dialog box followed by the Save button on the previous screen.
