Hi, and so sorry for this late reply. But you should complete the step where you update your assets first, with changing the transformation to use “name” as name and not the “lastUpdatedTime”. 

Then it will be easier!

Hi ​@mdcomer 

Thank you for your feedback! I’m sorry it didn’t work in Firefox, but glad you found out a solution.

Hello all,

I’m unable to see the resulting data of the transformation. The “data explorer” is the tool to use now (instead of search) ? There is no Option to chose the Other category as suggested in one of the last replies.

Hi ​@jgibart 

Search (under Industrial tools) should be the best tool to use for this.

The CDF project is a hybrid project supporting both asset-centric data model and data modeling (what you should be using). 

Data Explorer only supports asset-centric, while Search is used for data modeling data.
