Example usage scenario
In the picture below there are 4 triangles. They are all parts of a single record - after using inspection on one of triangles you can see that all of them are inspected - because they are part of a single record. Â
Results after using Explode records using the configuration from the top of the guide:
In the screenshot above, there has been added label which shows the <Details> column which has been propagated with values by Explode tool.Â
Furthermore, each of the triangles is located in separate record. Now using inspection on the one of triangles only highlights the single one.
