### **General description**

The Move using a pattern Transformer takes a specific part of the entity data and moves it to a new location in the entity data. This Transformer can be used to move the value of a key, or a nested key, like “product”, or “product.name” into a new key like “itemName”, or “item.itemName”.

### **The different parts of the Move using a pattern Transformer**

- **Pattern** **(required field)**  
This specifies the path towards the entity data that needs to be moved.

- **Replacement (required field)**  
The output location where the data will be moved to.

- **Conditions**  
This helps set optional criteria for the move action. In this case, the data will only be moved if the specified conditions are met.
