How to know when to create what type of transform?

Hello Experts,

I am trying to learn creating transform in ISC. What I am struggling is, I don’t have clarity when to create what kind of transform for string value.
Mostly for the transforms that are created for FirstName, LastName,CompanyName.
I see sometime these are static transform, sometime firstvalid transforms and sometime trim.
Any suggestion for understanding transform.
Thank you.

I suggest you to check this page related to transform : Operations | SailPoint Developer Community . on overview section it gives idea when to use which kind of transform. As example:

Once you familiarize yourself with all the seaspray transforms provided by SailPoint (listed as operations in this page), you need to figure out how to combine multiple via nesting to get what you need. If your requirement is too complicated, you can always come to this community for help from fellow developers. It takes some time and practice/experience before you can manage most of the requirements you have

Hello Rita,

I stepped into my role with zero understanding of how to write a transform.

  1. Watch this video:

Developer Days 2023 - IdentityNow, Rules & Transforms: Introduction, Getting Started, Advanced - YouTube

  1. Read this document:

Your First Transform | SailPoint Developer Community

  1. Create simple Transforms for your sandbox environment

I would take existing simple static transform and rework it. I would then look at first valid, these typically have multiple incoming values. Then try to add a concatenation to it. Working on building up nested and more complex APIs.

Good luck!
