How do I Create UID in Pipeline?

New to pipeline builder, I’ve got a loaded data set that doesn’t have a Unique ID. Is there an expression or easy way to add a column “uid” to my data set as an early transform? I’ll need a UID to make this useful for later use in the Ontology. Thanks!

Yes, you can do this using our create UUID expression, which you can find by searching for “uuid” in the expressions list! Please note the expression is not deterministic and the UUID will change each time the pipeline is run. If you need deterministic UUIDs, I recommend running an early pipeline which outputs a dataset with the UUID, and then having that dataset as an input in your current pipeline.
