Template-Level Transformations can be defined and easily applied across the entire collection of table columns based on a variety of search criteria.
Wildcards can be defined so that a value can be centrally managed
Ability to run the Data Copy only for any table belonging to a specific Template-Level condition.

Multiple conditions can be defined for the same table and either used separately based on the use case (condition number) or combined into the WHERE clause
query the current contents of data areas and tables from within the Data Copy Template object views
improvements to the data copy log report
