Once the data entities are imported you can you can drag and drop the required data entities and transformation components on the design canvas to create a Data Flow or Workflow.

The data flow defines how the data is moved and transformed between different systems, while the workflow defines the sequence in which the data flows are executed.

Here is how a Data Flow or Workflow Editor looks:

After your Data Flow or Workflow is ready you can run it immediately or schedule it to run for a later time.
