Design - JSON Definitions ​

Clicking Design, opens the JSON Definition designer canvas.

This area creates, maintains, and displays dataviews belonging to your JSON Definition - regardless of whether they apply to Source or Destination datasets.

These dataviews tell Statelake what datasets and fields are to be used, and how they are to be used.
