Description

This step acts as a place-holder in a Mapping transformation a.k.a. sub-transformation.
It describes the places (0 or more) in the mapping where input is expected to occur.

Options

Option Description
Step name Name of the step.
Note: This name has to be unique in a single transformation.
The required input fields for this mapping (sub-transformation)
Here you can describe the required input fields that your sub-transformation is expected.
At design time this helps you to create the mapping.
Include unspecified fields, ordered by name
In certain borderline case, you not only want the required fields, but all of them.  This option allows for this situation.
This is the for example the case if you want to remove certain fields from the stream later on, retaining all other fields.

Example
