Q: Can I make changes to my input file in Monarch?
A: No, we consider it an important feature that Monarch operates in read-only mode. This means that your source data is always safe and is often essential for internal auditing procedures. When Monarch extracts the data from the source file, then you are able to make some changes.
In the table you have access to over 44 database functions that will allow you to modify your data in many ways. Utilizing these database functions you can create "Filters" and "Calculated Fields" that, for example, allow you to join fields, multiply and divide columns, create random numbers, split fields, such as, a full name field into its 5 sub elements and a similar function that splits an address block into its logical elements.
