A computing device displays a user interface for a data preparation application, including a flow pane that visually represents a data preparation flow and a plurality of icons in a flow element palette. Using a feature/version matrix, the device determines that (i) a first subset of parameterized operations represented by a first subset of icons is not supported by the data preparation server application according to a version number of the data preparation server application and (ii) a second subset of parameterized operations represented by a second subset of icons is supported by the data preparation server application. The device provides a first indication that the parameterized operations represented by the icons in the first subset are unavailable to be inserted into the data preparation flow and displays a visual indication that each of the icons in the second subset is available to be inserted.

Updating available features based on server compatibility

A method executes at a computing device having a display, processors, and memory. The device displays a user interface for a data preparation application, including icons in a flow element palette, each icon representing a parameterized operation that can be inserted into data preparation flows in a flow pane of the user interface. A user places icons into the flow pane, visually defining flow elements for a flow that extracts data from selected data sources, transforms the extracted data, and exports the transformed data. The device retrieves the version number of a corresponding server application running on a server. Using a feature matrix, the device determines which flow elements are not supported by the data prep server application according to the version number. When there are flow elements not supported by the data prep server application running on the server, the device indicates this to the user.

Compatibility-based feature management for data prep applications

Embodiments are directed to managing data models. A data source that includes records may be provided. Source fields may be determined based on the records and the source fields may be displayed in a source panel. A data model that includes a source data object may be displayed. Relationships between the source fields may be determined based on values in the records. In response to providing a relationship between the source fields, a data object that includes a key field and one or more data fields that correspond to the relationship may be generated. The data model may be modified to include the data object and to remove the source fields that correspond to the data fields.
