Node Type

A Node Type controls how Nodes behave. Each type includes:

  • A YAML Node definition with UI fields, naming, and defaults.
  • A Create Template for DDL at Deploy.
  • A Run Template for DML at Refresh.

Coalesce ships default types such as Source, Stage, Dimension, Fact, and View. You can duplicate defaults or build custom types of either kind: YAML Node Types, which use the mapping grid, or SQL Node Types, which are authored in SQL.

Manage types in Build Settings > Node Types. Enabled types appear when you add Nodes to the Graph.

See Nodes and Node Types and the Node Type Editor.

The defaults above are YAML Node Types, formerly called Node Type V1. For the SQL-first kind, see SQL Node Type.
